30 Day Sci-Fi Challenge - Day 25

Funniest Sci-Fi - Spaceballs

When I was a kid I watched this movie all the time. I actually saw it before I saw Star Wars if you can believe it!

I didn't get so many of the jokes, and I'm so surprised my parents let me watch this movie so much. I'm pretty sure I learned the word "shit" from this movie. Phrases like "Take only what you need to survive" became family jokes and I still laugh whenever I hear things like "We've been jammed" or "Merchandising!"  

If you've never seen this then you must be from an other galaxy or something because this is one of the all time greats. 

Oh and R.I.P. John Candy

30 Day Film Challenge -- Day 8

The Film You Quote the Best - Spaceballs


Mel Brooks' Star Wars spoof is one of my alltime favorites, and I can quote it more than any other movie...that I can think of at the moment. One reason I can quote it so well is because it really was my family's movie. Before long car rides my dad would always say "Take only what you need to survive", and "May the Schwartz Be With You" was more known to me than "May the Force Be With You" when I was young.

This isn't my favorite Mel Brooks movie, but it I've seen it so many times, and it is so funny that it definitely holds the distinction of the movie I can quote the best.
