From Young Frankenstein to The Naked Gun to Scary Movie, this is Collider's ranking of the best, funniest spoof movies.
Standing as one type of movie within the broader comedy genre, the parody movie has an unusual history. Parody movies have existed for almost as long as cinema has, with the genre dating back as far as 1905, though it's also safe to say that it took considerably more time for this type of film to truly take off.
Then again, not all teen movies are comedies, so Not Another Teen Movie also manages to parody the sorts of teenage-centered movies that were particularly popular in the 1980s . Also, a pre-Captain AmericaChris Evans stars in this. That's kind of neat. But as for Scary Movie, it's actually pretty good, all things considered, and does a solid enough job at poking fun at a whole host of movies, including Screamand I Know What You Did Last Summer. It didn't reinvent the parody genre or bring it to new heights, but it has enough funny moments to be worth watching, even if it regrettably helped pave the way for lesser films to follow.
14 'Galaxy Quest' Certainly one of the more wholesome and affectionate parody movies out there, Galaxy Quest is a very enjoyable and quite gentle spoof of old-school sci-fi, particularly the original Star Trek TV series. It's about the cast members of a TV show who get mistaken as the real deal by an alien race, and as a result, they find themselves engaged in a conflict in outer space.
It's not one of Brooks's very best parody movies, but he set a high bar in the 1970s , so you can't really blame him. And Spaceballs is still something of a minor spoof classic in its own right, featuring enough simultaneously dumb yet smart jokes delivered in rapid succession to be an overall good time.
9 'Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery' Though its sequels are still very funny , it's the original Austin Powers movie, 1997's International Man of Mystery, that's arguably the best. At its core, it's a spoof of classic movies in the long-running James Bond series, with its titular hero a goofier version of the titular hero from that spy-centered franchise.
7 'Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story' Riffing specifically on James Mangold's Walk the Line , Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox also feels like it has a good laugh at the expense of music biopics in general. And honestly, it was a genre that sort of had it coming, considering fairly generic rise and fall narratives about famous musicians were - and arguably still are - all too common.John C.
It pokes fun at rock bands, popular music, and less-than-intelligent musicians by making Spinal Tap a band filled with lovable idiots, and presenting everything like a documentary , making all the ridiculousness on screen feel strangely believable. It's a masterful comedy, and the fact that some of the music here is surprisingly catchy definitely doesn't hurt, either.
