I would have to say that mine is Shriek If you Know What I did Last Summer. It had a lot of the same elements of Scary Movie but,  I thought it was done better. I'd put What's Up Tigerlily first but, I don't really know where to put it after Woody went through it spoof, satire, no matter what it rules ( or in the case of cool people it rulz!!!)

Dolph Lundgren

The entirety of Kentucky Fried Movie is hilarious, IMO.  Same goes for the first Naked Gun, as well as both Hot Shots! movies.  Especially Hot Shots Part Deux.  I can't stop laughing when Charlie Sheen starts to kill all of the soldiers and there's a body count total that compares the amount of kills to movies infamous with high death tolls.  And, after he gets done killing them, he tosses a handful of bullets at them and they fall down.  Classic stuff if you're an action junkie and love the Rambos, much like myself.  People hated Kung Pow:  Enter the Fist, but I thought some parts were pretty funny.  Anything that mocks action and kung fu movies is great in my book, 'cuz I'm such a big fan of them both.

Brother Ragnarok

I'd have to say Kung Pow since Dolph brought it up.  It's rare that I find a movie that I can bust a gut at laughing every time I watch it, and Kung Pow is number one for that.

Kung Pow is a great movie, I started to quote the peanut vendor and then nobody would ever play me chess again. In the first Naked Gun there was so many jokes that I missed the first 8 times that I saw it that I'm still catching  things now (like the pizza). Airplane would also have to rank high on my lists of spoofs

Conrad

Galaxy Quest, for me. Deflating that Other Series, the one that's so self-important.  What's it called now?

Crouching Tiger - Hidden Police Speed Trap

jmc

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN tied with BLAZING SADDLES.

Good ones.
Also
Airplane!

The Burgomaster

I'd have to say that the "Fistful of Yen" segment in KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE is one of the funniest spoofs I have evr seen.

I also think the Austin Powers movies are excellent spoofs of James Bond and 1960s lifestyles in general.

good call, 'knetucky fried movie' rocks.  i also like 'amazon women on the moon', it's not as good - but it's still great.  i don't know why they don't make these weird serial spoof movies anymore.

two not mentioned so far for the 80's heads:
'uhf'
'hollywood shuffle'

Feathertop

For me it's MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL , LOVE AND DEATH and THE RUTTLES.

I'll stick with a tie between What's up Tiger Lilly and Spinal Tap . . . though I like most if the other ones mentioned (have to disagree with Kung Pow though). If you havn't rented the DVD for SP do, immediatly, almost enough unused footage from the first movie to make a sequal . . . some parts not used were even better than the movie itself!

Other Runners up (not mentioned):
1) Undercover Brother: I Know! I'm sooooo ashamed, but it was a funny spook of Black Exploitation Movies.

2) Spaceballs: No one mentioned this? Outrageous!

3) Dr Strangelove: Does this count?

4) MAR'S ATTACKS: NO ONE MENTIONED MARS ATTACKS????? Just cause it's mainstream doesn't mean it's not great! I sang Uma Paloma Blanca - ah- ah! for two weeks after seeing this film, with visions of exploding heads the entire time. I'm probably the only Evangelical minister (part time) on the list and I'm sure I'm the only one who used this as a sermon illustration (to a youth group) ever! And yes some parents complained, but they got over it.

5) Can't remember the name, but there is a movie which involves Peter Sellers getting married, I'm sure if I understood it that it would have been very funny!

Thoughs Anyone?

Sorry that was a typo, not an attempt at bad humor, I meant to type Spoof, not Spook. Any offended I sincerely appologise, no offense intended!

Shriek If You Know...  f**kING SUCKS! Scary Movie kicks its puny ass!

Scary Movie(first one only9is one of the best spoof movies ever,and Not Another Teen Movie comes in a close second.
