Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex certainly had a portion of it that satirized the giant moster genre.
And I’ve never seen American Tickler or Honey, I Blew Up the Kid. Though the later, from what I understand, probably fits the bill.
Holy Grail probably qualifies as a spoof of epics, although it’s Python so it’s also it’s own thing. I still think the ‘new’ epics of today - which keep coming, by the way, there’s the King Arthur movie coming out soon, plus two Alexander the Great movies, allegedly a possible Gladitor sequel, rumors of The Hobbit, etc. - need a parody of their own.
I haven’t seen that film in ages!
You know I can’t take anything seriously, and this whole thread has got me wanting to go out and hire some vids immediately.
Someone (in Japan, no less) actually did a movie in recent years about a small Japanese village in the 50s that gets the news reports about a giant monster attacking Tokyo, then rampaging through the country. (It’s not a hoax, but the audience never actually sees the monster themselves.) I’ve heard it’s a comedy, with poignient moments. (And that it’s not yet available in the U.S. ) I’ll try to dig up the title.
And…they might fall in under “chick flicks,” but would “Lifetime”-style “Women Overcoming Adversity and Eeeeeeevil Men, while Crying a Whole Lot” movies count as a genre?
