20+ Best Parody Movies, Ranked by Screen Rant

"The best parody movies take the best and most outrageous parts of movie genres & change things up to make them even more ridiculous. Sadly, over the years the idea of spoof movies gained a bad name thanks to an endless supply of spoofs of practically every genre in existence. There is a difference between the best spoof movies and the best parody movies. A spoof movie is something like Airplane!, where it takes the tropes of the action genre and shows how ridiculous they can be. A parody movie is one that plays within a genre, without taking itself that seriously. Some of the best parody movies started coming out in the 1970s and while they ended up falling on hard times in the 2000s, they remain a part of movie history. What separates the great parody movies from the bad ones is both the sense of humor on display & the brains behind the jokes. These movies don't really make fun of the genre, they simply show humor in the parts of the genre that people love the most." - screenrant.com
