My personal favorite is Fatal Instinct, a Carl Reiner film. Armand Assante, Sherilyn Fenn, Kate Nelligan (sexy frickin' woman), Sean Young, James Remar, Tony Randall, Clarence Clemson's, et al.

Really well done script played to the hilt by the cast. Plenty of one liners if you keep up.

Next would probably have to be Space Balls.

Anyone else got any other really good ones?

Does The Princess Bride count? If so, that's my choice.

Young Frankenstein is really, really good.

And I still love Airplane. It's a classic (perhaps the original parody?)

I shall give an honorable mention to History of the World Part 1 for "The Ape Stood... and Became Man" bit.

Airplane was the first to come to mind. Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein also come to mind.

But Spaceballs is probably among my least favorite. By that time, Mel Brooks’ humor had run its course and there were few jokes that fans of parody could not see coming a mile away.

I've only seen it once and didn't necessarily think it was great, but I do like "Tooken," a spoof on "Taken," for the name alone.




Edit to add:

With all the love I think I see "MacGruber" get, surprised I haven't seen that one mentioned yet.

To me Airplane and Blazing Saddles are the standard bearers in the genre. There's just so much there that's gif-able and quote-able and their humor has stood the test of time.
