“YOU'RE DRAFTED . . . to enjoy the laughs in the Latest and Funniest”
Synopsis
Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond looks after the British outpost near the Khybar pass.

Parody & Spoof
Playfully reworking a film, genre or screen storytelling form drives a substantial part of the humour. Includes loving send-ups and form-conscious mockumentaries. A few references, homage scenes or general social satire alone are insufficient. Sequels individually selected. Curated from selected Time Out, Rotten Tomatoes, BFI and Roger Ebert recommendations with independent film-by-film additions. Not an official list from those publications.
