Genres, lovingly demolished.
a film that could not be made now, and knows it
the most affectionate parody ever made
endlessly quoted, endlessly quotable
banned in several countries; Python's best-structured film
the joke density has never been matched
Brooks on *Star Wars*, and the merchandising joke
the ZAZ formula perfected
the spy spoof that swallowed its target
the best *Star Trek* film isn't one
the ZAZ tradition, inherited by a new generation
genre comedy that respects the genre
puppets, and a satire that offends everyone on schedule
the funniest action film ever made
the music-biopic parody that ended the genre for a decade
the last great studio comedy of its kind
a reboot that had no right to be this good
the darkest of the Cornetto trilogy
a flop, and the funniest film of its year
