Spaceballs. 1987.

The cast is a superior one with the highlights including Joan Rivers as 'Dot Matrix' and the lovably goofy John Candy playing a half-man, half-dog. Rick Moranis really shines though in his best role as Dark Helmet, Bill Pullman as the hero Lone Star, Daphne Zuniga as the spoilt Druish princess also watch out for Mel Brooks's double cast as the President of Spaceball City with a strange hand/arm gesture and wise man Yogurt.

Most fun thing about the movie is Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet who is the complete opposite in every way of the ultimate bad guy from the entire universe; Darth Vader, especially in size, big glasses and the Schwartz light sabre battle. I found it comical back in the day and still find this comical now.
