Spaceballs [PG]

1987, 96 minutes

This parody—directed, produced, and co-written by Mel Brooks—mines some of entertainment’s largest franchises for maximum referential humor, especially the Star Wars trilogy. Heroic intergalactic mercenary Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and his large, furry alien companion Barf (John Candy) set out to rescue Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga). Sound familiar? In addition to “Star Wars,” the film pokes fun at science fiction and fantasy classics like “The Wizard of Oz,” “Planet of the Apes,” and “Alien.”
