Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I like parodies, but I despise most over-the-top schtick.

For instance, I love parodies like Spinal Tap which send up the heavy metal rock culture with brilliant all-too-true ironies, but the spy genre was already parodied to death back in the late 60's (i.e., through the Flint movies, Matt Helm, the last season or two of Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Get Smart! among others). All that was left by the time Austin Powers showed up was silliness, raunchy humor and poking fun at the entire psychedelic era. Having come of age in the late 60's I find this kind of send-up more irritating than humorous.
