The 3 that come to mind for me are Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The Princess Bride. All three are poking fun at their respective genres but also are great examples of the genre. I'm curious if Lemmy has other such examples.

Heathers. it was made to parody adolecent movies and its considered the mother of all adolecent movies (like, the mother of netflix-like movies.)

Star Wreck was a cool parody of Trek/B5 space sci-fi stuff while also holding up against them. (And being a 100% indie production to boot.)

The Orville had some genuinely good episodes that told a great message.

The Fifth Element. Still in my top ten list, and always will be.

Can't believe Hot Fuzz hasn't been mentioned yet.
