This love letter to Blaxploitation films is packed with over-the-top action, absurd dialogue, and razor-sharp satire.

This WW2 spy spoof starring Val Kilmer is criminally underrated and full of visual gags and surreal humour.

They Came Together

This romantic comedy spoof hilariously mocks every trope in the genre. It’s absurd, meta, and very self-aware.

Kung Pow! Enter the Fist

A bizarre and brilliant martial arts parody that inserts its lead into an old Hong Kong film.

Fatal Instinct

A spoof of erotic thrillers like Basic Instinct and Fatal Attraction, this parody is campy and ridiculous.

Jane Austen’s Mafia!

This spoof of mafia flicks like The Godfather and Casino didn’t get much attention when it was released, but it is a laugh riot.
