100. Spaceballs (1987)

What's the matter, Colonel Sandurz? CHICKEN?

One of my favorite comedic directors riffs on my favorite movie franchise of all time, with Bill Pullman, John Candy, Rick Moranis, and Joan Rivers (as a C3-PO knock-off no less) all along for the ride. Sign me up! That being said, this isn't my favorite Mel Brooks movie (that would be "Young Frankenstein"), but it does probably contain more puns than any movie in history. Many of the jokes are groan-worthy, but Rick Moranis' Dark Helmet really saves the movie from itself with his over-the-top performance as a power-obsessed Darth Vader knock-off.
