Line #94 AffectionateParody/LiveActionFilms


1	[[AC: Filmmakers]]
2	* Creator/ChristopherGuest has made several mockumentaries of his own, such as ''Film/BestInShow'' (dog shows), ''Film/WaitingForGuffman'' (local theater), ''Film/AMightyWind'' (1960's folk music) and ''Film/ForYourConsideration'' (OscarBait films), all of which can be considered affectionate towards their (rather daft) characters.
3	* Larry Blamire's films are all affectionate parodies of B horror movies from different eras.
4	** ''Film/TheLostSkeletonOfCadavra'' and ''The Lost Skeleton Returns Again'' are for the 50's and 60's
5	** ''Film/DarkAndStormyNight'' is for the 40's
6	** ''Film/TrailOfTheScreamingForehead'' is for the 70's
7	** ''Film/TalesFromThePub'' shorts are parodying ''Franchise/TheTwilightZone'' or ''Series/TheOuterLimits1963''.
8	* Creator/MelBrooks is a Grand Master of this trope. He has made it clear that he only parodies movies and genres he likes. In fact [[WordofGod Mel Brooks]] has said that he could never do a parody of, for instance, slasher flicks because he can only work with genres he respects. Brooks was even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHZzhxAabgU awarded the AFI Achievement Award]] by none other than Creator/MartinScorsese for being "a great filmmaker just for laughs"
9	** ''Film/BlazingSaddles'' is an affectionate parody of Westerns, so affectionate that the singer of the theme song, Frankie Laine, did not know it was a parody. They added the whip sounds into the music later.
10	** ''Film/DraculaDeadAndLovingIt'' was an AffectionateParody of past ''{{Dracula}}'' films.
11	** ''Film/HighAnxiety'' for Creator/AlfredHitchcock films.
12	** ''Film/RobinHoodMenInTights'' for the Myth/RobinHood legends
13	** ''Film/SilentMovie'', anyone?
14	** ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'' parodied ''Franchise/StarWars'' and included what were very good special effects for the time. The care put into his movies makes them affectionate parodies instead of cheap spoofs.
15	** ''Film/TheTwelveChairs'' is an AffectionateParody of the novel
16	** ''Film/YoungFrankenstein'' is an AffectionateParody of the 30's Universal [[FrankensteinsMonster Frankenstein]] movies. It is so well done in that style that it is possible to miss that it ''was'' a parody. Points to the director for recreating the way the films from back in the day were made; gigantic, multi-story sets (like the lab, that managed to all fit onto screen, with its huge staircase), extended takes done without cuts, as well as just the slow and deliberate way the actors move and talk.
17	* Creator/PhilLordAndChrisMiller have made a career of making wildly imaginative, manic, meta-modernist parody films.
18	** Their ''Film/TwentyOneJumpStreet'' adaptation parodies every trope of the ''[[Series/TwentyOneJumpStreet original series]] while also making fun of reboots and high-school teen movies from the 80s and present time. ''[[Film/TwentyTwoJumpStreet It's sequel]]'' parodies college movies and action blockbuster sequels.
19	** ''Film/Strays2023'' is a hard R-rated parody of "talking animal adventure" children's movies like ''Film/HomewardBoundTheIncredibleJourney''.
20	* The Wayans Family have made a name for themselves in making RapidFireComedy parodies.
21	** The 1994 comedy, ''Film/{{Blankman}}'' satirizes superhero/crime fighter vigilantes in a manner much like the the Creator/AdamWest ''Series/Batman1966'' TV series (lampshaded in-movie).
22	** ''Film/DanceFlick'' parodies "Dance Movies" in the vein of ''Film/SaveTheLastDance'', ''You Got Served'' (2004), ''Film/{{Fame}}'', ''Film/{{Flashdance}}'', as well as music-related features like ''Theatre/{{Hairspray}}'' and the {{biopic}} ''Film/{{Ray}}''.
23	** ''Film/DontBeAMenaceToSouthCentralWhileDrinkingYourJuiceInTheHood'' is an Affectionate Parody of "[[ComingOfAgeStory Growing Up In The]] {{Hood\|Film}}" movies, sometimes parodying whole scenes (and bringing over actors) from the movies it references.
24	** ''Film/FiftyShadesOfBlack'': A blatant parody of ''Film/FiftyShadesOfGrey''.
25	** ''Film/AHauntedHouse'' and its sequel parody supernatural FoundFootage horror like the ''Film/ParanormalActivity'' films, ''Film/TheDevilInside'' as well as Ed and Lorraine Warren from ''Film/TheConjuringUniverse''.
26	** ''Film/ImGonnaGitYouSucka'': A send-up of every {{Blaxploitation}} trademark imaginable.
27	** The first two ''Film/ScaryMovie'' films were produced by the Wayans' before David Zucker (see below) made the next two. The first film parodied {{Slasher Movie}}s remaking the basic plots of ''Film/{{Scream}}'' and ''Film/IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer'' (even though ''Scream'' [[RedundantParody was already a]] {{deconstructive\|parody}} satire of slasher films) while the second film spoofed supernatural horror like ''Film/TheHaunting1999'', ''Film/Poltergeist1982'', etc.
28	* Creator/WoodyAllen has parodied genres like 1970s sci-fi (''Film/{{Sleeper}}'') and epic historical romances (''Film/LoveAndDeath''). One section of ''Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* but were afraid to ask'' parodies 1960s Italian films, and another 1940s-50s mad scientist films (complete with John Carradine as the scientist in question).
29	* Creator/ZuckerAbrahamsAndZucker famously reinvented the {{Slapstick}} Parody genre for a generation to the point where everyone thought that any spoof movie that came out was made by them.
30	** ''Film/{{Airplane}}'' is an Affectionate Parody of disaster movies, especially the movie ''Zero Hour!'' (with which it shared entire lines of dialogue, such as "The life of everyone on board depends upon just one thing: finding someone back there who can not only fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner"), and one of the best Deconstructions you'll ever see. It's now very, very hard to play the "disaster on a plane" trope straight-- and impossible to watch ''Film/ZeroHour1957'' or read the Creator/ArthurHailey book ''Airplane'' is based on (it's from the guy who wrote ''Airport'') without going into hysterics from visualizing all the jokes in ''Airplane''.
31	** ''Film/BASEketball'' spoofs inspirational sports movies.
32	** ''Film/HotShots'' Parts 1 and [[Film/HotShotsPartDeux Deux]] parody military action films, ''Film/TopGun'' and ''Franchise/{{Rambo}}'' in particular.
33	** ''Film/JaneAustensMafia'' spoofs Italian-American mafioso gangster films, particularly, ''Film/TheGodfather'', ''Film/{{Goodfellas}}'' and ''Film/{{Casino}}''.
34	** ''Film/TheNakedGun'' trilogy and, by extension, ''Series/PoliceSquad'' qualify as affectionate spoofs of {{Police Procedural}}s.
35
36	[[AC: Films]]
37	* ''Film/TwentyOneJumpStreet'' and its [[Film/TwentyTwoJumpStreet sequel]] not only parody [[Series/TwentyOneJumpStreet its source show]] like crazy, but also aspects of teen movies, crime thrillers and police dramas.
38	* Creator/StephenChow's ''Film/AllForTheWinner'' was a parody of Creator/ChowYunFat's ''Film/GodOfGamblers'', but it was so well-received (by some reports even out-earning the original) it was tied into the series "officially" with two more sequels starring Chow and several other movies without him.
39	* ''Film/AnotherGayMovie'' has been described as merely "a gay ''American Pie''" as it spoofs that basic plot with four gay teenagers vowing to lose their virginity before graduation and features cameos from many LGBT icons.
40	* Music/SuperJunior's film, ''"Attack on the Pin-Up Boys"'' is an Affectionate Parody of the [[TeenIdol idol]] [[IdolSinger culture]], obsessions with passing fads, and the life of a teenager set in a HighSchoolAU. The second half of the film dips into DeconstructiveParody territory though as it becomes more introspective than the first half.
41	* The ''Film/AustinPowers'' trilogy and ''The Second Best Secret Agent in the World'' are affectionate parodies of ''Film/JamesBond''-style spy movies. Which were heavily inspired by ''Film/OurManFlint''. Austin lampshades this, saying ''Film/InLikeFlint'' is his favorite movie.
42	** While we're on the subject, ''Film/OurManFlint'' and ''Film/InLikeFlint'' spoof the ''Film/JamesBond'' series films, particularly Flint's savoir faire and knowledge of esoteric subject areas.
43	* ''Film/BackToTheBeach'' is a parody of 1960s Creator/AnnetteFunicello / Frankie Avalon beach movies, starring... Annette Funicello & Frankie Avalon!
44	* ''The Girl Hunt'' ballet in ''Film/TheBandWagon'' lovingly parodies tropes from hardboiled and noir fiction and film, from the FemmeFatale to the PrivateEyeMonologue.
45	* ''Film/TheBigLebowski'' affectionately parodies the works of Creator/RaymondChandler, ''Literature/TheBigSleep'' particularly, by showing what would happen if you took a standard twisty-turny Chandler-style plot and occupied the role of the hero with a lazy hippy slacker instead of the usual hard-boiled PrivateDetective character.
46	* ''Film/TheBradyBunch'' and ''A Very Brady Sequel'' qualify. They make light of several stories and moments from the [[Series/TheBradyBunch original series]] while still standing true as film adaptations.
47	* ''Film/TheCabinInTheWoods'' is both this and a deconstruction parody of horror films, with a giant TakeThat towards reality tv for good measure.
48	* The ''Film/CarryOn'' film series were one of the first films that did parodies. In many cases, it was because the production team wanted to make a friendly rival between films that they were parodying and see what made more in the British box office.
49	** ''Film/CarryOnCleo'' parodies ''Film/{{Cleopatra}}'', with elements from ''Theatre/JuliusCaesar'' and ''Theatre/AntonyAndCleopatra''.
50	** ''Film/CarryOnScreaming'' is a parody of ''Film/HammerHorror'', featuring a parody of ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}'' and characters that seem to be based off ''Series/TheAddamsFamily''.
51	** ''Film/CarryOnDoctor'' is a parody of ''Series/DoctorInTheHouse''.
52	** ''Film/CarryOnHenry'' is a parody of ''Theatre/AnneOfTheThousandDays''. It was originally supposed to be named ''Anne Of A Thousand [[ReallyGetsAround Lays]]''.
53	** ''[[Film/DontLoseYourHead Carry On Pimpernel]]'' (also known as ''Don't Lose Your Head'') is a parody of ''Literature/TheScarletPimpernel''.
54	** ''Film/CarryOnSpying'' was the first Franchise/JamesBond movie parody in movie ''history''. Some of the production team later moved on to work on other James Bond movies.
55	** ''Film/CarryOnUpTheKhyber'' is a parody of ''Film/{{Zulu}}''.
56	* ''Film/CasaDeMiPadre'' is an affectionate parody of latin telenovelas and grindhouse movies.
57	* ''Film/TheCheapDetective'' spoofs hardboiled detectives.
58	* ''Film/{{Clue}}'', both the movie and the classic board game, affectionately parody murder mysteries.
59	* The Creator/ComedyCentral original movie ''A Clusterfunke Christmas'' is a parody of the made-for-TV Christmas movies which aired on the Creator/HallmarkChannel.
60	* ''Film/CryBaby'' was an Affectionate Parody of teen musical, and they made sure ''everyone'' would realize it.
61	* ''Film/DeadMenDontWearPlaid'' is an Affectionate Parody of film noir.
62	* Michael "Bully" Herbigs films ''Film/DerSchuhDesManitu'' and its semi-sequel ''Traumschiff Surprise: Periode 1'' parody the western genre, especially Creator/KarlMay, and science fiction, especially ''Franchise/StarTrek'' and ''Franchise/StarWars'', respectively. They are also two of the most successful german films of all time and are generally considered to be CultClassic.
63	* ''Film/DieHard'' started as both an action film and an affectionate parody of 80s action films, notably in casting Bruce Willis, who was best known before ''Die Hard'' for comedy roles. The movie ended up becoming the template for future action movies and transformed Willis into an action star. And the ''Die Hard'' movies eventually became an Affectionate Parody of themselves.
64	* Creator/{{Disney}}
65	** ''Film/{{Enchanted}}'' was Disney's Affectionate Parody of... ''[[TakeThatUs itself]]'', replete with {{Shout Out}}s and and subverted tropes. Not that it didn't turn out to still be a good film (which it did).
66	** Disney's ''Film/{{Flubber}}'' sends-up the MadScientist trope.
67	** ''Film/InspectorGadget1999'', like [[WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget the original cartoon]], parodies the {{Cyborg}} concept and is pretty much a DenserAndWackier ''Film/RoboCop1987''.
68	* ''Film/DownWithLove'' parodied Doris Day and Rock Hudson romantic comedies of the 1950s an 60s.
69	* ''Film/{{Dragnet}}'' (1987) is a parody of its non-comedic TV source material ''Franchise/{{Dragnet}}''.
70	* ''Film/EightLeggedFreaks'' was an affectionate parody of monster B movies. Had the nice blend of features like the characters playing their roles without any obvious irony, the classic trope of toxic waste causing spiders to mutate, and it even had spiders acting cartoony and making cartoony noises, and yet everything was played straight.
71	* ''Film/ElectroBabeAndDynaChick'' is a loving (sexy) parody of sixties shows like ''Series/Batman1966'' and ''Series/ElectraWomanAndDynaGirl'', with cheesy and bizarre villains, MaleGaze and slow deathtraps.
72	* ''Film/EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce'' parodies a lot of Creator/JackieChan and Creator/MichelleYeoh martial art movies in a very bonkers, over-the-top way while combining existentialist sci-fi into the mix.
73	* The ''Franchise/EvilDead'' series includes several subtle jabs at common horror movie tropes, but ''Film/ArmyOfDarkness'' is pretty much a giant, overt AffectionateParody of HeroicFantasy films. And it is awesome.
74	* ''Film/FatalInstinct'' parodied "FemmeFatale" noir of varying vintages, particularly, ''Film/BasicInstinct'' and ''Film/FatalAttraction'' (...as evidenced in the title.).
75	* ''Film/TheFearlessVampireKillers, or, Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are In My Neck'' is a parody of the Film/HammerHorror vampire films that were so popular when it was made, and it works so well that it's sometimes more suspenseful than they are. This was in itself later adapted into the stage musical ''Theatre/TanzDerVampire'', which includes songs mimicking various musical styles.
76	* ''Film/TheFifthElement'' can be seen as straight Science Fiction flick, but works very well as a friendly parody of common action and science fiction concepts, particularly those of European sci-fi/fantasy comics.
77	* The 2008 film ''Film/FoolsGold'' is a parody of the "treasure hunting adventure" genre. The AdventurerArchaeologist is a flat broke dreamer, his ex-wife wants out after searching for years with nothing to show for it, their investors are a doddering millionaire and his vapid SpoiledBrat of a daughter, and the LoanShark is a rapper.
78	* William Shatner did an Affectionate Parody of himself in a little-appreciated movie called ''Film/FreeEnterprise''.
79	* ''Film/GalaxyQuest'' is an Affectionate Parody of ''Franchise/StarTrek'', especially ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' and its stars (though with some ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' mixed in). Notable in that numerous ''Star Trek'' actors have publicly declared their love for the movie. And not just Wil Wheaton (who has always been snarky about being [[CreatorsPet Wesley Crusher]]); even Patrick Stewart loved it. Website/TheOtherWiki has [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_Quest#Reaction_quotes_from_Star_Trek_actors a list of some of the actor's reactions]]. It is sometimes described as the best ''Star Trek'' [[SpiritualAdaptation movie ever]]. William Shatner apparently loved it, too, even though he's the one the movie comes closest to actually being less-than-affectionate about. Of course, Shatner's developed a pretty good sense of self-deprecating humor about his past behavior.
80	* ''Film/TheGamers'' knows too much about D&D to make it a normal parody, and its jokes are mostly aimed for the same people it mocks. An example would be most of the Bard jokes in the second movie.
81	* The Turkish movie ''Film/{{GORA}}'' parodies, well, pretty much every big-budget Hollywood sci-fi movie ever made. At the beginning, [[AliensSpeakingEnglish the extraterrestrials are talking in English]] before realizing what they're doing and switching to Turkish. The prisoners on the alien ship carry lightsaber shivs. Even the main character Arif is very conscious about doing things 'right', including finding an appropriate hero costume and having his sidekicks film him as he embarks on his adventure.
82	* ''Film/{{Grease}}'' was an Affectionate Parody of 1950s teen musicals, although most people don't seem to realize this.
83	* The [[Music/TheBeatles Beatles]] film ''Film/{{Help}}'' was an Affectionate Parody of ''Film/JamesBond'' movies.
84	* ''Film/HighSchoolHigh'' parodies SaveOurStudents films like ''Film/DangerousMinds'' or ''Film/StandAndDeliver''.
85	* ''Film/{{Hobgoblins}}'' was clearly meant to be such a parody of ''Film/{{Gremlins\|1984}}'' -- an incredibly stupid idea considering that ''Gremlins'' is ''itself'' a parody, of both the "monster attacks small American town" genre of horror films and the "ABoyAndHisX" genre of feel-good family films.
86	* ''Film/HoboWithAShotgun'': Of exploitation films, especially those focusing on revenge stories.
87	* The Korean film ''Film/TheHost2006'' is hard to take as anything other than an AffectionateParody of Asian monster movies. Watched with a group of friends, the movie is hilarious.
88	* ''Film/HotFuzz'' self consciously uses every possible cop movie trope it can, often [[LampshadeHanging hanging a lampshade]] on them, while paying tribute to those films.
89	* ''Film/{{Hydrozagadka}}'' is a giggle-fest parodying just how ''silly'' the {{superhero}} genre is (complete with ClarkKenting and CartoonishSupervillainy).
90	* ''Film/KingsmanTheSecretService'', of Creator/RogerMoore-era ''Film/JamesBond'' films, as well as campy spy fiction in general.
91	* ''Film/KnivesOut'' is a parody of {{Whodunnit}} mysteries in the vein of Creator/AgathaChristie and Creator/ArthurConanDoyle.
92	* ''Film/KungFuHustle'' is, of course, an AffectionateParody to modern {{Wuxia}} Martial Arts genre.
93	* ''Film/KungPowEnterTheFist'', Steve Oedekirk's awesome tribute to martial arts flicks.
94	* ''Film/LoadedWeapon1'' parodies [[BuddyCopShow Buddy cop]] thrillers specifically lampooning the ''Film/LethalWeapon'' series, while also taking shots at ''Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs'', ''Film/BasicInstinct'', and more.
95	* ''Film/LemonadeJoe'' or ''Horse Opera'' is an Affectionate Parody of TheWestern pulp movies, and quite the ClicheStorm. There are no Western movies made by Czechoslovakian film school, just this one, and you can sense just how much everybody involved in the movie loved it to bits.
96	* ''Film/TheLostSkeletonOfCadavra'' is an Affectionate Parody of B-rated sci-fi horror movies from the 50s.
97	* ''Film/ManOfTheHouse'' parodied the role that made Creator/TommyLeeJones famous, the lawman.
98	* ''Film/TheManWithTwoBrains'' is a modern day take on GothicHorror.
99	* ''Film/MarsAttacks'' is an affectionate parody of 1950's science fiction AlienInvasion B-movies.
100	* ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail''. Creator/TerryJones was an Arthurian scholar and knew a lot of the source material. As a result, the movie has a lot of fun parodying Myth/ArthurianLegend while still being one of its more accurate portrayals.
101	* Stanley Donen's sadly all-but-forgotten 1978 film ''Film/MovieMovie'' was a loving Valentine to the cheesy B-list 1930s/early '40s era black-and-white films Hollywood would churn out during the height of the old studio system. Complete with lines so cornball they'd make Captain America blush. It's glorious fun for fans of vintage kitsch.
102	* ''Film/TheMuppetsTakeManhattan'' is an AffectionateParody of 1930's/'40's-era movie musicals of the "let's put on a show variety".
103	* ''Film/MurderByDeath'' is an Affectionate Parody of [[TenLittleMurderVictims Agatha Christie-type murder mysteries]].
104	* ''Film/MusicAndLyrics'' is an Affectionate Parody of "disposable" bubblegum pop music, and its slightly pretentious-yet-cheesy tendencies, from the 1980s -- especially in the mock MTV video clip for fictional band PoP!'s big hit "Pop! Goes My Heart" -- to the present day, with the Britney / Christina Aguilera-type pop star character.
105	* ''Film/MyNameIsNobody'' takes this concept to its logical extreme, no wonder as it was produced by Creator/SergioLeone himself. Whimsical, hysterical, warm and ultimately an achingly gentle farewell to the genre he himself created, it's a wonderful mood-rollercoaster of satire and homage, to the point you will cry ManlyTears every bit as much as laugh while watching it.
106	* ''Film/MysteryMen'' parodies the {{Superhero}} and SuperTeam genres. The over-the-top architecture of Champion City was inspired by Gotham City as portrayed in the Creator/JoelSchumacher ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' films.
107	* ''Film/MysteryTeam'' does this for KidDetective series in the ''Literature/EncyclopediaBrown''[=/=]''Three Investigators'' mode
108	* ''Film/NotAnotherTeenMovie'' spoofs, well...Teen Movies (from at least the 1980s to the early 2000s). The plot mostly parodies ''Film/ShesAllThat'', but it also pays homage to (and mocks genre conventions with) other classics like ''Film/CantHardlyWait'', ''Film/VarsityBlues'', ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'', ''Film/AmericanPie'', ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'', ''Film/CruelIntentions'', ''Film/NeverBeenKissed'', ''Film/SixteenCandles'', ''Film/BringItOn'', ''Film/SaveTheLastDance'', ''Film/PrettyInPink'', etc.
109	* ''Film/{{Paul}}'' parodied "first contact" alien films like ''Film/{{ET\|the extraterrestrial}}'' and ''Film/CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind'' and, with them, pay great {{homage}} to Creator/StevenSpielberg.
110	* ''Film/PootieTang'', ''Film/TheHebrewHammer'', and ''Film/BlackDynamite'' are a few examples of this trope on {{Blaxploitation}} movies.
111	* ''Film/PressStart2007'', to every videogame in existence.
112	* ''Film/ThePrincessBride'' is a parody of medieval romances.
113	* While ''Film/PunchDrunkLove'' is a {{Deconstruction}} of Creator/AdamSandler's roles as a sociopathic manchild, ''Film/AngerManagement'' is its parody.
114	* ''Film/RockSlyde'' is a parody of FilmNoir, even having the first scene in black & white, though doesn't last.
115	* ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' is a very affectionate parody of the old B-movies Creator/RichardOBrien grew up loving.
116	* ''Film/RustlersRhapsody'' makes fun of all those B-grade singing-cowboy westerns produced back in the 50s. But it makes fun in a friendly way.
117	* ''Samurai Fiction'' affectionately parodies traditional samurai epics while including a few modern art-film touches -- and a rock-and-roll soundtrack supplied by co-star Tomoyasu Hotei.
118	* ''Film/{{Scream\|1996}}'''s tongue-in-cheek [[NoFourthWall meta-references]] to established HorrorTropes were so cleverly done that it initiated a self-aware trend in later horror films. The fact that it was helmed by master of horror Creator/WesCraven only cemented its status as affectionate.
119	** Its parody, the ''Film/ScaryMovie'' series, also started a trend for other movie genres not taking themselves as seriously, ranging from decent things like ''Not Another Teen Movie'' and ''Superhero Movie'' to abominations like ''Film/DateMovie'', ''Film/EpicMovie'', ''Film/MeetTheSpartans'', and ''Film/DisasterMovie'' (all of which come from Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg, one might notice...).
120	* ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead''. Star and co-writer Creator/SimonPegg said it was closer to "a love letter" to Romero's zombie films than a parody.
121	* ''Film/SinginInTheRain'', considered one of the all-time great film musicals was itself intended as an affectionate parody of the original big Hollywood musicals. Right down to there being an overblown fantasy sequence inside the overblown fantasy sequence.
122	* ''Film/SkyHigh2005'' is fond of pointing out the more ridiculous tropes in both the superhero and high school drama genres, which it typically accomplishes by using them straight but to an [[ExaggeratedTrope absurdly over-the-top]] degree. For example, the Commander has an entire drawer full of identical phones for when he [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength pushes the buttons too hard]].
123	* ''Film/{{Slither}}'' is an affectionate parody of (roughly Seventies-Eighties era) horror movies.
124	* ''Film/SnakesOnAPlane'' is an affectionate sendup of a number of genres, such as airplane disaster, animal horror, and even action-adventure.
125	* ''Film/SomeLikeItHot'' is replete with shout outs to past gangster films.
126	* ''Film/StarWreckInThePirkinning'', a Finnish amateur film, makes fun of ''Franchise/StarTrek'' and ''Series/BabylonFive''.
127	* ''Film/{{Stardust}}'': the affectionate parody of classic fairy tales and fantasy genre.
128	* The ''Film/StarskyAndHutch'' movie is not only a send-up of [[Series/StarskyAndhutch the original show]] but also of the [[BuddyCopShow Buddy Cop genre]].
129	* ''Film/SuperheroMovie'' particularly parodies superhero films that [[GenreRelaunch made a resurgence]] throughout [[TurnOfTheMillennium the 2000s]] though it [[SpiderManSendUp mostly takes from the plot]] of the first Creator/SamRaimi ''Film/SpiderMan1'' (2002) but it also satirizes ''[[Film/XMenFilmSeries X-Men]]'' and ''Film/BatmanBegins'' among other things.
130	* ''Film/SupportYourLocalSheriff'' is an AffectionateParody of TheWestern. Interestingly it's not a bad example of that genre even if you manage to take it seriously.
131	** ''Support Your Local Gunfighter'', a non-sequel follow-up produced by more or less the same people, treads the same ground with less success.
132	* ''Film/TheyThem2022'': Full of nods to Film/FridayThe13th1980, complete with Creator/KevinBacon.
133	* ''Film/ThisIsSpinalTap'' is a fairly obvious example of this, it being a parody of the hard rock and HeavyMetal of the 70s and 80s. It is also parodies concert films and "rockumentaries" of the time. It's shown to be an affectionate parody by the sympathetic portrayal of the band towards the end of the film, and the fact that it references things that only fans of the genre could possibly get. The amount of effort the three leads put into writing the songs for the film makes this even more evident.
134	* ''Film/ThrowMommaFromTheTrain'' is a love letter to Creator/AlfredHitchcock's ''Film/StrangersOnATrain''.
135	* ''Film/TopSecret'' parodied UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo espionage movies, though it's set in TheSixties UsefulNotes/ColdWar era, the better to ''also'' send up 1960s rock and roll musicals.
136	* The made-for-TV ''Totally Awesome'' parodies '80's teen flicks.
137	* ''Film/{{Tremors}}'', while not an out-and-out parody, includes several gentle swipes at 50's monster-movie plots.
138	* ''Film/TropicThunder'' is an Affectionate Parody of both classic Vietnam films such as ''Film/ApocalypseNow'' and ''Film/{{Platoon}}'', as well as the wider absurdities of Hollywood itself.
139	* ''Film/TuckerAndDaleVsEvil'' and ''Film/JackBrooksMonsterSlayer'' parody HillbillyHorrors.
140	* ''Film/{{UHF}}'' is rife with Affectionate Parodies. Since Music/WeirdAlYankovic not only starred in, but co-wrote the film, this wasn't exactly surprising.
141	* ''Film/{{Vamp}}'' is one for nearly every vampire movie ever made.
142	* ''Film/VampiresSuck'' parodies ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''. Given who's parodying it, affectionate is probably not the right word though.
143	* ''Film/WalkHard'' is a parody of music biopics such as ''Film/WalkTheLine'' and ''Film/ImNotThere'', but it also mocks the traditional clichés associated with many musical biopics.
144	* ''Film/WetHotAmericanSummer'' is an Affectionate Parody of the multitude of teen SummerCampy comedies released in the '80s, such as ''Meatballs''.
145	* ''Film/WeirdTheAlYankovicStory'' lampoons musical biopics such as ''Film/BohemianRhapsody''. What else would one expect from [[Music/WeirdAlYankovic the subject matter]]?
146	* ''Film/WithoutAClue'' parodies ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'' films, particularly their tendency to Flanderize Dr. Watson.
147	* ''Film/WrongfullyAccused'' parodies ''Film/TheFugitive'' and a host of many other movies and TV shows as well as FugitiveArc action thrillers as a whole.
148	* The short ''The Your Name Here Story'' is a parody of corporate promotional films. It is intentionally vague on what exactly it is about or who makes it, and thus is supposed to be "all purpose". The product is referred to as "Your Product Here" so it can fit any number of inventions and the company is also just "Your Product Here". The product is described as astounding to ridiculous manners. It apparently helps training your dog, lets you have more spare time, helps shave your facial hair, grow better crops, helps your cigarette taste better, help keeps your romance alive, helps you lose weight, and helps various other things.
