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.

Starship Troopers is weird because the book went full on in embracing the military-industrial complex and was kind of shit because of it. The movie made it a parody instead and it worked great!
…then they made a few sequels that yeah were more in line with the original book but in this case is that really a good thing?
Starship Troopers is peak sci-fi in that it holds up a mirror for society to see the ugly bits.
Thats just the curse of Paul Verhoeven, same thing happened with robocop
