Spaceballs (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo): Mel Brooks, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, Daphne… for $7.99
Mel Brooks's 1987 parody of the Star Wars trilogy is a jumble of jokes rather than a comic feature, and, predictably, some of those jokes work better than others. The cast, including Brooks in two roles, more or less mimics the principal characters from George Lucas's famous story line, and the director certainly gets a boost from new allies (SCTV graduates Rick Moranis and John Candy) as well as old ones (Dick Van Patten, Dom DeLuise). Watch this and wait for the sporadic inspiration--but don't be surprised if you find yourself yearning for those years when Brooks was a more complete filmmaker (Young Frankenstein). --Tom Keogh
I told you never to call me on this wall!
"Name?"
"Barf."
"Full name!"
"Barfalomew!"
To think I am the second person to comment without a movie quote.... FOR SHAME! I just wanted to say that this bluray occasionally can be found at Target for this price. Although you have to be a crazy price-stalker like me. :]
You went over my HELMET!?

May the Schwartz be with you!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5? That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!
Still holding out for the flame thrower.
Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
Classic. Crazy to think it's 25 years old!
So the combination is... one, two, three, four, five? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! The kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
she gives great helmet.
I'm a mog: half man, half dog. I'm my own best friend! - Barf
