Ok, so not all of these movies are entirely guilty and some of them are actually rated pretty highly on IMDB. Still, there is something guilty about enjoying a spoof movie, especially when they bombastically satire an already pretty cringey horror franchise.

Airplane!

Airplane! is a spoof which satirizes the disaster film genre. It particularly parodies Zero Hour! (1957) from which it borrows the plot and the central character. The movie is known for its tongue-in-cheek slap-stick comedy and was voted number one in Empire’s The 50 Funniest Comedies Ever poll.

This Is Spinal Tap

This is Spinal Tap is the king of the ‘mockumentary.’ It portrays the hardships of struggling British metal band ‘Spinal Tap’ and satirizes the pretension and bombast of rock star culture. It is one of the most popularly quoted movies of all time.

Life of Brian

Brian spends his life being mistaken for the Messiah. It’s controversial and sacrilegious but very, very funny.

Shaun of the Dead

The zombie movie trend was turned on its head by Shaun of the Dead, which featured Simon Pegg as a boring loser who is pretty surprised when the zombie apocalypse arises in London and interferes with his drinking plans.

Scary Movie III

I have a soft spot for the entire Scary Movie franchise, but I think number 3 is my favorite because it turns the spine-chilling plot of The Ring into something comically laughable.

From The Pick of Destiny to The Blues Brothers, there is a whole collection of movies out there which feature a make-believe or real band as central to the movie’s plot and theme. Here are ten of the best.

Sid & Nancy

Sid and Nancy tells the infamous love story of Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen. It’s funny, shocking, tragic and it features a whole lot of the Sex Pistols.

The Runaways

The Runaways, much like The Beatles, did what no one else had done before. Kirstin Stewart stars as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherie Curry in the rock ‘n’ roll tale of The Runaways.

School of Rock

It’s ridiculous and silly and we love it. The kids in the School of Rock put together one hell of a show.

Sing Street

A group of working class Irish lads put together a band to impress a girl. It ends up defining who they are, and the songs are genuine get-up-and-dance fun.

The Commitments

A movie with some serious soul.

Almost Famous

A budding young journalist goes on tour with rock ‘n’ roll stars Stillwater. It’s a movie that makes you want to get on the road and join in the party.

The Blues Brothers

A natural choice and an absolute classic.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World

An eccentric movie featuring the original works of the made-up band “Sex Bob-Omb.” The music was actually written by Beck.

This is Spinal Tapp

If you like band movies, you’ve probably already seen this and almost definitely know at least half the movie’s quotes off by heart.

Frank

A lesser-known movie featuring a band of misfits who take inspiration from the most unexpected places. Maggie Gyllenhaal plays the theremin.
