ANNOYED VIEWER OF EDIT: You know, in the vein of cliches I'm sick of, just once I'd like one of these movies to end with the heroine turning to the stalwart farmer guy at the end and saying, "I'm sorry, you're a very nice man, but I'm in love with the rich guy." And have her not be a bitch for doing it, because the rich guy is actually a real sweetheart.
Star Smashers of the Galaxy Rangers. '60s parody of '50s sci-fi, brilliant in part because it's played completely straight. At the end, the blushing (and fainting, and repeatedly kidnapped) heroine is struggling to choose between the two All-American Hunks, and she suddenly announces that actually, she prefers the Formerly Evil Black Sidekick. To which they respond... actually, I won't tell you who they end up with, because it's one of the funnest moments in the book. Look it out sometime.
