"Star Wreck is a feature-length science fiction parody made in Finland. The film took seven years to make, but in the end we had a film with amazing special effects, action and lots of dark humor. Go and download the movie, it's free. If you like the film, you can also get it on DVD." It's been downloaded over 8 million times (including by me) and is kickass funny: WATCH IT!

From Smithsonian magazine.
