Bill Pullman Didn't Bother Watching Star Wars Before Appearing in Spaceballs. This weekend is the 3. Spaceballs, Mel Brooks (somewhat) beloved Star Wars spoof.

Brooks might’ve set out to imitate and satirize George Lucas’ iconic work, but that doesn’t mean everyone else did their research. In an interview with. The Hollywood Reporter, co- star Bill Pullman admitted that he didn’t watch Star Wars before co- starring in Spaceballs, meaning he didn’t really know who his character, Lone Starr, was actually parodying. And it wasn’t like it was a new movie, either— all three films in the original trilogy came out years before Spaceballs. A New Hope was a decade old by that point.“I missed it the first time around,” Pullman said. I just needed Mel to tell me what was going on.

I didn’t need to see Star Wars to know what the whole thing was.”Star Wars may have started out as a surprise smash in 1. Han Solo, Lone Starr’s inspiration. Nowadays, it’s kind of funny to imagine Pullman trying to parody something he knew practically nothing about. Then again, it’s Spaceballs. Maybe it actually helped.[The Hollywood Reporter].

Back by popular demand is our sixth annual list of the 1. Best Movies That You Didn't See in 2. Featured below is a hand- picked selection of the best independent and/or mainstream films that were either quietly dumped, ignored by audiences, or just not marketed well enough. So to give them some extra time in the spotlight, and to support some of the best filmmakers out there, we've put together a 2. Read on for the list! Each year I put together this list of 1.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, co-star Bill Pullman admitted that he didn’t watch Star Wars before co-starring in Spaceballs, meaning he didn’t.

I feel as if I'm being challenged by cinephiles to find more and more movies they haven't seen, because more and more great films are being seen/recognized each and every year. I remember the comments that say "I've seen 1. That's actually great! But there's always more. This year there's a few extra documentaries, reflecting how my own tastes have evolved and how I've discovered some of the best work in all different types of cinema. I continue to search for the kind of films that move me, entertain and excite me, make me feel emotions, and share them with you. Alex. I would like to encourage everyone to watch at least one of these that they haven't heard of (or didn't see) beforehand.

If you spend the two hours or so that it will take to watch even one of these movies mentioned below, it would mean that much more to the filmmakers who put so much time and effort into making each of these movies. This isn't about getting kudos for mentioning certain films, this article is about pointing out movies that don't deserve to be forgotten and are begging to be watched. So pick one and watch it tonight. Broken Cameras. Opened on May 3. Directed by Emad Burnat & Guy Davidi. A documentary on a Palestinian farmer's chronicle of his nonviolent resistance to the actions of the Israeli army. Why it's on here: "I have to believe that capturing these images will have some meaning." That quote, spoken by director Emad Burnat in the documentary, is the perfect way to capture not only the importance of this film, but all the excellent films on this list.

Why do these filmmakers keep on filming? Why do they make these movies? Broken Cameras is a phenomenal doc about a simple Palestinian farmer who chronicles the lives of the five video cameras that he's used to record his family and what's happening to the land and people around him. The way he presents everything in such a raw, but extraordinarily affecting way, is what makes this a very powerful documentary.

It's one of those films that demands—needs—to be seen, because as Emad says, this story must "have some meaning."Bernie. Opened on April 2.

Directed by Richard Linklater. In small- town Texas, the local mortician strikes up a friendship with a wealthy widow, though when he kills her, he goes to great lengths to create the illusion that she's alive. Why it's on here: After a series of weak films, Jack Black came back with a vengeance and delivered an Oscar worthy turn as the title character in this hilarious dark comedy from director Richard Linklater.

Sadly, the film didn't get a whole lot of publicity due to a limited release and lack of serious marketing support. In the film, inspired by a true story, Black plays the kind and jovial Texas mortician Bernie who befriends the small town's wealthiest and cold widow (Shirley Mac.

Laine). Their friendship blossoms, but turns into more of a hellish faux marriage made all the more complicated when Bernie accidentally kills her. But despite the suspicious nature of her death, the town doesn't suspect Bernie until the lies just don't hold up anymore. It's a lighter dark comedy made all the more genuine by the use of real townspeople as talking heads, making the story feel like a dramatized documentary. It also contains another great turn from Matthew Mc. Playing With Fire Online Putlocker.

Conaughey and is available on Netflix Instant right now. Written by Ethan)Casa de mi Padre. Opened on March 1. Directed by Matt Piedmont.

Scheming on a way to save their father's ranch, the Alvarez brothers find themselves in a war with Mexico's most feared drug lord. Why it's on here: Will Ferrell speaking Spanish. That's pretty much all you need to know as this debut film from "Funny or Die" director Matt Piedmont. Produced by Will Ferrell and Adam Mc. Kay's Gary Sanchez Productions, the film is basically a straight- up parody in the vein of Black Dynamite that takes aim at Mexican westerns. Complete with some trademark Airplane- style, meta humor, and hilariously deadpan serious performances from actors Diego Luna, Gael Garcia Bernal and Genesis Rodriguez, this gem likely got swept under the radar because general audiences don't like subtitles, and this move is presented completely in Spanish, with the exception of the appearance of Nick Offerman which is jut awesome. Ferrell also delivers one of his trademark singing scenes, and you can watch it on Netflix Instant right now.

Written by Ethan)Cloud Atlas. Opened on October 2. Directed by Tom Tykwer, Andy & Lana Wachowski. An exploration of how the actions of individual lives impact one another in the past, present and future, as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero, and an act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution. Why it's on here: "You ever think the universe was against ya?" The little film that tried, but couldn't make it up the mountain.

I still believe in it. I still love it. I love everything about it. I still consider Cloud Atlas to be a "massive cinematic accomplishment", as I'm quoted calling it, and one that got overlooked in the awards season in many ways, from best make- up to best score (the "Cloud Atlas Sextet" by Tom Tykwer, Johnny Klimek & Reinhold Heil) as well as the performances, costumes, and everything else.

Tom Hanks is great in six roles, along with Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess, Doona Bae, Keith David and Ben Whishaw. I think this is the Wachowskis big "coming out" film, where they went all out experimentally in a narrative way, and it's a big one to grasp, but an extraordinary journey if you're along for the ride. I feel like something important has happened to me. Is this possible?" Now is the time to finally see this movie. Compliance. Opened on August 1. Directed by Craig Zobel. When a prank caller convinces a fast food restaurant manager to interrogate an innocent young employee, no- one is left unharmed.

Based on true events. Why it's on here: For the way it affects audiences. This is a film some hate, some despise, while others believe is brilliant, awards- worthy.

The subversive nature of the story along with a couple of impressive performances and the way it makes you feel strong emotions of frustration and anger and everything inbetween are exactly why this is such a great film, one worth seeing. It's simple but effective filmmaking that tells an almost unbelievable story so believably, that you want to walk right through the screen and beat the crap out of the guy on the phone. Actors Dreama Walker, Ann Dowd and Pat Healy are exceptional, but it's also director Craig Zobel we need to keep an eye on after this.

The Deep Blue Sea. Opened on March 2. Directed by Terence Davies. The wife of a British Judge is caught in a self- destructive love affair with a Royal Air Force pilot. Why it's on here: One hell of a heartbreaking performance by Rachel Weisz, and also because it's an impressive film that shows how much can be achieved with little dialogue.

The best reasons to see this are summed up by my friend Dan Mecca of The Film Stage, who put this as his #1 film of 2. He eloquently explains: "Romance at it's most simple and most tragic. Davies has been making elegant, brutal films his whole life, and this might be the best of them all. Rachel Weisz so perfectly captures the feel of unrequited love it hurts to watch.

You're afraid she might break at any moment.
