Personally I find Spaceballs to be much more memorable.

Me too, I can almost quote the movie.

But I wouldn't call it 'great'. A great movie has some weight to it, it establishes a world, has a deeper story. It's original and exceptionally well executed.

Spaceballs was great fun, good gags but it was still a parody lifting on the success of star wars. Without star wars it would not have been very funny at all.

Fun and entertaining and great are not necessarily the same IMO.
