What movies, books or tv shows are meant to spoof/parody a particular genre while actually being a great example of the genre?

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.

James Bond. Ian Fleming wrote a series of novels parodying spy novels, and they've turned into one of the best spy movie franchises, with no hint of parody left.
Though when I go back and watch the Pierce Brosnan movies, it’s obvious they’re a parody.
What’s weird is how serious they seemed in the 90s when they came out. But they’re so silly.

Moon Raker and From Russia with Love are so over the top
None of the Bond movies are serious, they're all clearly campy and fun movies. Timothy Dalton is the closest to the Bond of the novels.
