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.

    Austin Powers was such a good spoof of the genre that it killed the genre it was spoofing (for a little while). It was also a great movie in its own right!

    To this day I’ll say “There you are!” And if someone asks if they know me, or if I was looking for them, or any number of things, I’ll say, “No, but there you are! You’re there!”
