Favorite Movies #3: Spaceballs

Maybe I should have just called this section “top five favorite directors of mine” because picked this one to give it up for Mel Brooks. Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein were clearly in the running but Spaceballs is really the Mel Brooks movie of my generation...it's the fact that I can talk about it and people know what I'm talking about that puts it up here instead of older Mel Brooks stuff.
