The most recent I can think of is Hot Fuzz (2007)

This is a list of the movies that killed the genre moreso than a list of movies that are great.

I mean I’ll be the first person to admit that my taste is apparently shit to the common person.

But I loved each of these movies. I love absurdist humor.

Cantmiss Evershot is my favorite spoof character name.

Edit: closely followed by The Great White Bitch.

Almost by definition that’s a parody.

But that’s also an extremely fine line.

I don’t see how it isn’t a parody. It’s a parody of biopics, of Weird Al, of movies in general, of reality in general…

I was just being silly as this is about spoofs and not parodies.

It’s a series, but The Woman In The House Across The Street From The Girl In The Window was a pretty fun watch.

Second this, it was actually a pretty good thriller in and of itself too

Walk Hard is one of my favorites. Also 2007, so not so recent. They fell off hard after Tropic Thunder 2008ish. MacGruber was okay. Popstar would be the only one I can think of that’s fairly recent
