I like the Pullman reference in Independence Day to Eagle 5.

This has been on epic this month so catch it whenever I can. Probably too much for my 8 year old, but I still let him watch it.

This movie and History of the World Part 1 are Mel's finest.

Now I've had my laugh I feel old.

Not Another Teen Movie is criminally underrated.

Agreed. So fucking great. I'm a sucker for John Hughes parodies. It's why I loved the pilot of community so much. And the rest of the series of course.

It's been ages since I've seen ID. What was the reference?

And hey, I was 8 when I saw it as mentioned in my previous post.

Great movie not to mention it also have Michael Winslow and his sound effects.

One of the best movies of all time...a fucking classic. Mel Brooks is a national treasure.

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

Same here. Every time I'm back home my dad and I throw this bad boy on, even if it's on in the background.

"Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money"

You called?

Spoiler

Yeah, Italian distributors dubbed Martians Go Home as Spaceballs 2. Go figure.

At the end of ID when Pullman (as president) is flying, his call sign is "Eagle 5", just a little shout-out to his Space Balls days.

There is so much to like about Spaceballs, hard for me to pick a favorite part. I think Rick Moranis NAILED Lord Helmet though. Funny in every scene he's in.

The part with the dolls is the greatest part of the movie.

Did you see anything?
No sir, I did not see you playing with your dolls again!
Good

Edit: I also remember reading somewhere that before Moranis quit acting, they planned on making a sequel called "Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2"

I also remember hearing about "The Search for Part 2" but AFAIK it was just Brooks rattling the sabre to try and get more movies made. Moranis is on the record saying an offer was made to him around 89-90 to do the sequel but the money was too low.

Drewish princesses are often attracted to money & power and I have both and you know it.

Blazing Saddles is great. Spaceballs, The Producers, and Young Frankenstein are just okay. Spaceballs has great gags that play well on YouTube, but in-between those gags there isn't much to like.

 

[TriniTrin]

Just saw this was on amazon prime streaming! Time to watch this classic again!

When I get pissed off by the little things in life, I sometimes say to myself "I knew it, I'm surrounded by assholes" and it makes me smile

 

[CountAntonius]

I probably saw this twenty times as a kid before I ever seen a starwars movie and loved it without even getting any of the jokes.

 

[Zombie James]

Watch your mouth, Tuvok.

 

[VoxPop]

Havent seen this movie in ages but I remember absolutely loving it. Gonna give it a rewatch. Hopefully it holds up. Even the GIFs are getting me nostalgic.

 

[watershed]

So great. One of Mel Brooks' best movies.

 

[Miguel81]

I miss the Mel Brooks films from the 70s-early 90s, and SpaceBalls is at the top IMO. Comedic genius and his golden age was sublime.
