    Interesting suggestions. They’re not what I typically consider in this particular style of parody movies because they’re a lot less slapstick and absurd but instead are very targeted mockeries of a single concept or style. Worth watching for sure, but I know they wouldn’t scratch the same itch for me.

      Airplane! is also a parody of one particular movie that is mostly forgotten now, Zero Hour, and spoofs a then popular subgenre of airplane catastrophe movies.

      Walk Hard in particular is very much in the ZAZ vein.

        Fun fact: Zero Hour is so unintentionally funny they lifted a lot of it verbatim and Airplane! is technically a remake. They had to buy the rights.
