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.

    Scream was incredibly meta. It references plenty of slasher films and even has one character talking about the rules of slasher films.

    While it’s not exactly a parody, it does poke fun at its own genre a lot.
