Anyone know of any really good ones? I can only recall:
Johnny English - Made me laugh uncontrollably, Rowan Atkinson is hilarious.
True Lies: I'm not a a terminator fan, but arnold is great here.

that was cute, but
goldmember was painful compared to the absolute genius of the first.
Casino Royale is an interesting classic bond spoof too... but maybe a bit too much of a spoof... but my favorite classic was the
flynn series. they were good enough to stand alone, and not just as a spoof.
But im with you pedro... no doubt
austin is the number one spy spoof of all time.
Spies like us was perhaps the worst.
True Lies is also a great movie, but its a stand alone, and far more dedicated to a real story, than its spoofability... It came out just as surround sound did, and I still remember the sound of the bullets as they shot passed me in the movie theater.
Pedronicus loves that one too.. he can relate to Bill Paxton's character...you know... the one with the small penis

Always loved "Tiger Lilly", Woody Allens first as a director where he took a Japanese spy movie and overdubbed it with his own script and voices. Matt Helm with Dean Martin comes close as do James Coburn "Our Man Flynt" series.

I'll agree except I prefer the first 2 over Goldmember.

I always liked The Man Who Knew Too Little
I don't know if it's good or if I just like Bill Murray's style

It's a good movie, and that's my favorite as well.

Pure genius! Though as a kid, I did not really appreciate the series.
A Fish called Wanda was pretty funny.

Top Secret was the first one that came to mind.
"Yes, they used the anal intruder. It took four hours of surgery to wipe the smile off
his face."
Spies like us- I just like Akroyd and Chase.
"For every answer we don't like. I cut off a finger."
"Umm......yours or mine?"
Stripes (Okay it's a stretch, but man that movie was great)

You're all a bunch of unsophisticated plebes. The best spy spoof was Woody Allen's "What's Up Tiger Lily?".
