When it comes to fantasy movies that are a parody of the gender, which are your favs.

Pretty much only two for me come in mind.
Monty Pythons: Guest for the Holy Grail
Mel Brook's: Robin Hood - Men in Tights

What are yours?

I think you mean "parody of the genre."

fantasy movies that are ALSO comedies? I guess we'd have to throw "Shreck" and "Shreck II" in there.

and while "Cave Dwellers" wasn't intentionally a parody of the fantasy genre it IS one of my all-time favorite Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes... so it deserves honorable mention. oh yeah, that AND the "Magic Sword" by Bert I. Gordon... another classic MST3k fantasy joy-ride.
