I have seen this movie many many times. And mel brooks is also a genius when it comes to parody movies. Even today it still holds up with all those jokes and rick moranis as Dark Helmet. Lonestar Bill Pullman with his companion Barf played by John Candy. So many and awesome quotes that still hold.

Pizza the Hut!

What are your favorite memories of this movie?

May the Schwartz be with you!

 

[angular graphics]

I love this movie. Oh God I just remembered the John Hurt cameo

 

[backflip10019]

One of my favorite movies of all time. I must've watched this every single day for an entire summer when I was a kid, so much so that I memorized the entire movie.

 

[FallingEdge]

 

[Two Words]

Never realized Space Balls is older than me.

 

[krae_man]

Forget it, No more beaming. This time I'm gonna walk!

 

[anotherVegan]

One of my favorite movies. However, I showed it off to my wife and she thought it was pretty cheesy.

Spoiler

And then I acknowledged its cheesiness.

 

[everyday math]

Use the schwartz!

They've gone plaid!

One of my favorite movies of all time.

 

[HUELEN10]

Anyone a fan of the animated series?

 

[Goodacre0081]

 

[Aurongel]

I loved when I first saw it but in retrospect without nostalgia goggles, it is seriously mediocre

 

[Jimnymebob]

I only own a few films, and this is one of them. It's so goddamn good.

Favourite scene is probably the diner/chest burster scene towards the end.

 

[Sinatar]

Rick Moranis was so good in that movie. Probably my favorite Mel Brooks movie, even ahead of Blazing Saddles.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

The fast-fowarding scene is my favorite.

 

[LyleLanley]

You're seriously mediocre.

 

[Delta Assault]

She's gone from suck to blow!

 

[dorikyasu]

27 years... Apparently the time flew by in Ludicrous Speed!

 

[antitrop]

It's the parody that Star Wars deserved.

 

[mreddie]

Best theme ever.

 

[jmdajr]

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Better than what it was parodying

 

[ukas]

I'm still waiting on Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money.

 

[Goodacre0081]

found two more that could totally be used as reactionary gifs on gaf

KEEP FIRING ASSHOLES!

I got the Mel Brooks Blu-ray Collection for cheap a few weeks back and was rewatching this, as well as some of his more obscure movies. I quite liked To Be or Not To Be, and it was fun to see one of Christopher Lloyd's relatively early roles.

 

[Tesseract]

i watch this about 5 times a year with my dad, it never gets old.

 

[B.K.]

I really need to buy the DVD or Blu-Ray sometime. I always loved Spaceballs when I was a kid, but I don't think I've ever seen the whole thing before.

I like High Anxiety. Good Hitchcock spoof.

[FunkyPajamas]

It's funny because both Han Solo and Lone Starr went on to be presidents of the United States.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I still love this scene

 

[PeteZaTheHutt]

Spaceballs? Never heard of it.

 

[Sectorseven]

I tried real hard to like this movie, but it never resonated with me the way Airplane! and Hot Shots! did.

There's a bit of "old man humor" in Mel Brooks that just doesn't jive with people.

 

[HylianTom]

Mel Brooks' birthday is this Saturday. I'll be celebrating with Spaceballs and probably History of the World Part I.

 

[Goro Majima]

Try Blazing Saddles instead. If that doesn't work for you, you won't like anything by Mel Brooks.

 

[slabrock]

1...2...3...4...5 which is the same as the combination to my luggage

 

[Tenumi]

A silly film that excelled (at least in my opinion) at doing what it was supposed to do: Parody, and hilarity.

Amongst many scenes, I'll always love the "watching the movie to see where they went" bit.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

No, sir, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again!

 

[McLovin]

I laughed way too hard at this.

 

[Kyzer]

A lot of the humor doesn't hold up now that I'm grown and can put the right shape into the right hole but I used to be a big fan

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

The best fucking part of the movie. Holy shit I die laughing every time.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

"I'm the bearded lady, who are you, one of the freaks?"

 

[canoli2006]

I hope they bringing back to the theaters when it turns 30.

 

[leddmonkey]

"There's only one man who would dare give me the raspberry! LONE STARR!......clunk......

"Merchendising, merchendising, where the real money from the movie is made!"

"Do you?"
"Yes"
"Do you?"
"Yes"
"Good, you're married, kiss her!"



So damn good.

 

[Rich!]

So good

The opening pan of that ship is the perfect example of something being funny, drawn out to the point where it's not funny anymore then drawn out even more to the point where it's suddenly hilarious

 

[bebop242]

My favorite spoof movie ever. Love it. Those who can't find this movie funny are dead inside.

Dark Helmet: What's the matter, Colonel Sandurz? CHICKEN?
