1941
Steven Spielberg, along with screenwriters Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, pays tribute to the all-star comedy epics of the 60s in this 1979 WWII farce, in particular The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming. It’s one of those rare big-budget films where every single penny is right there on the screen and though it suffers from excess, Spielberg still manages to pull off several brilliant set-pieces, including one of the most explosively joyous dance scenes in the history of movies; it’s like a Fred Astaire number choreographed by Rube Goldberg.
