Spaceballs

Y-"Use the ring Lone Star".

LS-"I can't, I lost the ring".

Y-"Forget the ring, the ring is bupkiss, I won it in a crackerjack box!"


Mel Brooks (Legend!), Rick Moranis (Little Shop of Horrors), John Candy (The Great Outdoors & Uncle Buck), Joan Rivers (Look Who's Talking) and Bill Pullman (Independence day & Timescape)...All Star cast!

Parody of Star Wars and every Sci-fi to that date, Spaceballs tracks the lives of Han Solo and Chewbacca...oh wait...I mean Lone Star and Barf. Two Intergalactic smugglers in deep trouble with Pizza the Hut. To offset their debt, they agree to rescue Princess Vespa and her android (Joan Rivers) from the Spaceballs (the empire), who fly about space in a galactic statue of liberty...don't ask why.

Anyway, long story short, Lone Star learns the power of the Schwartz (Jewish force), fights the evil Dark Helmet and rescues/falls in love with the Princess (Daphne Zuniga).

Best cameo ever....John Hurt as a space diner customer ordering the special and reliving his birth scene from Alien. Awesome!
