Nothing beats parody movies when it comes to declaring wit and humor in Hollywood, especially when they spoof some of the most popular genres and movies out there.
While making parody movies has gone stale, here are the 10 best parody movies of all time and where to watch them!
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is a parody of the entire musical biopic genre, referencing award-winning films like Walk the Line (Johnny Cash's story) and Ray (the Ray Charles Story). And don't forget how musical comedies work even better in parody versions!

The Starving Games (2013)
Ever wonder what would happen if The Hunger Games, Avatar, and Harry Potter had a crossover? Despite the opposite franchises, both of them happened to have starred in a parody movie that spoofed Suzanne Collins’s dystopian franchise!
Kantmiss Evershot volunteered right after her sister's name, Petunia, was picked from the lot of District 12 to compete in the deadly games. Ecstatically, Peter volunteered in his wish to finally get closer to his longtime crush, Kantmiss. Let's just say if you're a huge fan of the franchise, The Starving Games might tickle your funny bone.

Vampires Suck (2010)
Similar to The Starving Games, the writers/directors and key producer shared the same team for Vampires Suck.
However, when it comes to the box office game, the Twilight Saga parody tops the former after earning a worldwide gross of approximately $80.5 million under a production budget of $20 million.

Not Another Teen Movie (2001)
Starring Chris Evans and Chyler Leigh as the typical boy-meets-girl tropes, Not Another Teen Movie spoofed several common romcoms and other teenage genre films throughout the years, including 10 Things I Hate About You, She's All That, The Breakfast Club, Bring It On!, and Grease.

Kung Fu Hustle (2005)
Parody or not, Kung Fu Hustle is both a loving homage and a broad collection of classic martial arts films combined in a single spoofed movie. The slapstick comedy doesn't stop at the cinematic style, but rather through its physical and visually moving choreography in its fight sequences.
It's not just a typical 'Kung Fu' movie; it gained its cult following and became one of the most iconic movies of all time for a reason.

Scary Movie Franchise (2000-2013)
Think Scream movie, except it's putting the scariest ghosts, serial killers, and creepiest horror films into one: the Scary Movie franchise, which was created by the Wayans Brothers, is one unforgettable spoof collection since the 2000s.
And as Scream continues with a seventh flick on February 27, 2026, the Wayans Brothers confirmed that the next Scary Movie will be set to unite the original cast members, Marlon Wayans and Regina Hall, for the first time in 18 years.

Shaun of the Dead (2004)
Shaun of the Dead spoofed the entire zombie film genre, from the classics directed by George A. Romero, which makes the movie title a direct pun on the 1978 masterpiece, Dawn of the Dead.

Spaceballs (1987)
A Star Wars parody with Ghostbusters and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids franchise star Rick Moranis — what could be funnier?
Not to mention, Spaceballs 2 is currently in the works, set to have more actors join the roster as Moranis comes out of retirement to reprise his role!
- Streaming Platforms: HBO Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video
The Naked Gun Franchise (1988-2025)
The Naked Gun franchise spoofs police-related movies such as the 1982 series Police Squad! with the common tropes in action, cop, and detective movies and TV shows. And who would've thought that the reboot would hit audiences so well, even in 2025?
The Naked Gun reboot starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson earned over $102 million, with its domestic box office reaching more than $52.6 million from a budget of only $42 million.
- Streaming Platforms: Paramount+, Amazon Prime Video
Austin Powers Franchise (1997-2002)
What do James Bond and Austin Powers have in common? They can both save each other’s butts even in a cinch. The films also satirize 1960s spy movies, including movies like Our Man Flint and Blow-Up, as well as the Swinging Sixties era for its music and 1960s atmosphere. Think goofy villains wearing goofier outfits, saying the most outrageous things that ironically portray how the spy movie formula has been established.
