I can't believe no one mentioned Monty Python. C'mon.

Just watched Osmosis Jones last night and there were two very obvious parodies of both The Matrix (bullet time) and Titanic (band playing at the end).

 

[Neil S. Bulk]

Psycho.

A few parodies come to mind:

Star Wars: Austin Powers 2 (Austin... I am your... father). I'm sure this is repeated a lot. Also of course the infamous "Friends" episode, where Rachel dresses up as Princess Leia with the metal bikini. Even recently I saw an episode of the Family Guy (Christmas special) where Santa blocks Stewy's ray gun, just like Vader does on Cloud City, lol. Of course the SNL skit with Kevin Spacey doing Christoper Walken (she's...fast...enough...for...you...old man) and Bill Murray singing "Star Wars.... nothing but Star Wars" is classic.

E.T.: Naked Gun 2 1/2, when Frank Drebin sends the guy in the wheelchair flying through the air.

Matrix: Well, everything parodied the Matrix it seemed. Shrek had the Trinity-kick in it, Scary Movie had the bullet-time, etc.

The Sixth Sense: The whole "I see dead people" thing seemed to be everywhere for a while.

Titanic: The "I'm flying" scene.

Terminator 2: Wayne's World, the "Have you seen this boy?" line.

Jurassic Park: The "cup" rumbling scene.

Nothing quite like like Kevin Spacey doing Christopher Walken trying out for the role of Han Solo...

Silence of the lambs. How many hannibal imitations are there

 

[Jay E]

The Godfather has been parodied to death in almost every type of media & entertainment

Psycho - The shower scene has been parodied quite a bit
Treasure of the Sierra Madre - The "stinkin badges" line
Singin in the Rain - title number
The Exorcist

 

[BenCo]

The Shining. "Honey, I'm Home!" Most recent one I can think of was in Finding Nemo when the shark is chasing them through the submarine.

 

[MarkHastings]

BenCo, another Shining parody is the "Here's Johnny" moment - which is somewhat of a parody in itself.

 

[Richard Kim]

Recently, definitely The Matrix. So many spoofs of bullet time, that it became cliched and worn out as a special effect.

 

[Doug Wallen]

Invasion of the Body Snatchers - movie remade numerous times and so many references to "pod people" in so many different places.

Im going to put my 2001 vote up. It was parodied twice in South Park in the episodes Trapper Keeper and Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society. The scenes where a spoof of David Bowman floating in the HAL computer room and when the one ape discovers that a bone can be used as a tool/weapon. Also in Woody Allen's Sleepers there is a HAL imitation.
