 Spaceballs 1987  PG, 96 min.
Genre: Comedy / Sci-Fi / Adventure
Director: Mel Brooks
Cast: Mel Brooks, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, Daphne Zuniga, Dick Van Patten, George Wyner, Michael Winslow, John Hurt, Stephen Tobolowsky, Joan Rivers, Lorene Yarnell, Sal Viscuso, Jim J. Bullock, Leslie Bevis
This is a tongue-in-cheek parody of "Star Wars" in which President Scroob (Mel Brooks) plots the kidnapping of spoiled Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga). Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) is the villain opposed by Lone Star (Bill Pullman) and Barf (John Candy) who is half dog and is his own best friend. This one is "Mel Brooks" all the way.

The Squeeze 1987  PG-13, 102 min.
Genre: Comedy
Director: Roger Young
Cast: Michael Keaton, Rae Dawn Chong, John(2) Davidson, Liane Langland, Leslie Bevis, Meat Loaf, Ronald Guttman, Bobby Bass, Lou Criscuolo, Joe Pantoliano
If you are a Michael Keaton fan, by all means watch this film. Otherwise, taking out the trash might provide a few more laughs as Keaton playes a con-artist who gets mixed up in all kinds of trouble.
