Spaceballs (1987)

The skit that wants to be a movie
I generally like Mel Brooks. His original "Producers" was far superior to the recent remake. Here he spoofs "Star Wars," and does a fair job, but it is better as a skit than a movie.
Rick Moranis has the funniest role, that of a peculiarly infantile Darth Vader type who plays with tiny ''Spaceballs'' dolls when he thinks no one is looking.
In addition to concentrating on ''Star Wars'' itself, ''Spaceballs'' tosses in gibes at the expense of other recent science fiction; there is a ''Star Trek'' sight gag, a visit to the ''Planet of the Apes'' and some understandable foreboding when John Hurt (''Alien'') puts in an appearance.
