okay extreme closeup Wow Wow it’s time
to blur the line that separates reality
from fiction I hate that cliche welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
Mehta movies for this list we’re taking
a look at self-aware movies full of
fourth wall breaks and in jokes directed
at the audience like the golfing
sequence of Navy SEALs SiC reference
they’ll bro oh thanks but dude your
references are out of control everyone
knows that movies in movies referencing
real-world events it all flies for this
list
nice khakis number 10 Being John
Malkovich welcome to the seven and a
half floor of the Merton Fleming’s as
you’ll now be spending your workday here
it is important that you learn a bit
about the history of this famous floor
one of the strangest most inventive and
funniest satires of the past two decades
Being John Malkovich tells the story of
a has-been puppeteer who’s able to enter
John Malkovich’s subconscious via a
portal it’s a portal and it takes you
inside John Malkovich what makes it all
the more awesome is that the filmmakers
napped John Malkovich to play himself
it’s my head
Schwartz it’s my head I will see you in
court
the result is one of his best
performances as a respected actor slowly
losing his mind you know and literally I
feel like I’m going crazy charlie nobody
can save Malkovich from the forces
taking over his body and soul not even
Charlie Sheen I’m sure you’re not going
crazy you don’t understand then it’s
like nothing I’ve ever felt
yeah yadda yadda yadda are you stoned
yes yes Jesus number 9 this is the end
hey so good luck home it’s Channing
Tatum the next generation of the frat
pack stars in this comedy as they
attempt to survive the apocalypse and
each other
I got this much of the humor in this is
the end is derived from how these actors
willingly poked fun at their egos who
took my in cell phone man James Franco
is the self-appointed leader Wow we do a
sequel to Pineapple Express Jonah Hill
is a conceited narcissist just me and
Jonah Hill from Moneyball and Michael
Cera is a coked-out pervert oh that’s
not cool my glasses
oh jeez I’m playing a game along the way
Seth Rogen takes a shot at himself for
botching The Green Hornet that that’s a
better performance you given in your
last six movies where the was that in
Green Hornet huh and delivers the
closest thing we’ve had so far to a
pineapple Express sequel
number eight funny games I don’t know
what kind of game you’re playing but I
don’t want to be a part of it funny
games might seem like a conventional
home invasion thriller about two
sadistic young men that take a family
hostage Amy through what distinguishes
the film is that one of the ruthless
captors is fully aware that he’s in a
movie do you think it’s enough you want
a real ending right with plausible plot
development don’t you thus he spends
much of the film making commentary on
the state of violence in American cinema
asking the audience if they wish to bet
on the family’s lives purposely dragging
matters out to reach a feature-length
running time and even using a remote
control to manipulate the plots outcome
number seven Tropic Thunder
Oh Tropic Thunder isn’t just a marvelous
send-up of war movies but of everything
Hollywood man I don’t drop character til
I’ve done a DVD commentary at the center
of the film are these Sylvester Stallone
like Tugg Speedman the Chris Farley like
Jeff Portnoy and the Russell Crowe like
Kirk Lazarus through these three the
film touches base on the links to which
actors will go to win an Oscar you
should have got ahsoka the poor film
choices that derail an actor’s career
and the fatal mistake of going full
retard
everybody knows you never go full retard
oh and let’s not forget the funniest and
most convincing fake movie trailers in
the history of comedy five-time Academy
Award winner Kirk Lazarus and MTV Movie
Award Best Kiss winner Tobey Maguire
number six the cabin in the woods
doesn’t even show up on the GPS it is
unworthy of global positioning what if
the events of every slasher movie ever
made were all run by a central
underground facility that’s the premise
of the cabin in the woods well sort of
we have a winner
it’s done this horror comedy places five
people who represent horror movie
archetypes in a remote cabin where they
accidentally raise the dead igneel
animals
although they just as easily could have
summoned vampires giant snakes or a
merman ministers how we die as carnage
ensues in the woods to office facility
workers casually observed control and
make commentary on the teenagers actions
that’s not fair I had zombies – yes you
did yes you had zombies but this is
zombie redneck torture family see
they’re entirely separate species if
you’re wondering why we won’t dare spoil
it here what if you don’t pull it off
they rise who does number five 22 Jump
Street now for your next mission you two
sons of bitches are going to medical
school this follow-up to 21 Jump Street
bombards the audience with meta humor
from its opening scenes to its end
credits exhausting every conceivable
idea for further sequels next assignment
semester XE Schmidt and Jenko are back
to solve another case which they
promised themselves is gonna be
different
sir can I just say it is so refreshing
to have a case with a black victim I
mean we care so much more because she’s
black to their dismay however the two
start to hit the same exact beats as
before 22 Jump Street is fully aware
that it’s a retread making it a genius
satire of sequels the first film and
even the TV series that inspired this
franchise
number four Spaceballs I can’t breathe
in this thing Blazing Saddles has too
many uproarious fourth-wall jokes to
count thank you
pulling off the unthinkable though Mel
Brooks took his meta humor to new
heights in Spaceballs pardon me sir
I have an idea Carl get me the video
cassette of Spaceballs the movie the
characters in this Star Wars parody
constantly referenced the audience
asking them if they caught all of the
expositional dialogue and selling them
merchandise thanks balls deflation that
kids love this one the funniest bit
involves the villains watching a
videotape of Spaceballs even though the
film isn’t finished yet
as they catch up to the movies current
point dark helmet and Colonel Sanders
engage in a hilarious philosophical
discussion about then now and when what
the hell am I looking at when does this
happen in the movie now you’re looking
at now sir everything that happens now
is happening now what happened then
progressing when just now where it now
now go back to then when now now no
can’t why we missed it when just now
number three adaptation why can’t there
be a movie simply about about flowers
Charlie Kaufman writes himself and his
non-existent brother Donald Kaufman into
adaptation anyway listen I meant to ask
you I need a cool way to kill people
don’t worry for my script while the film
might have started off as an adaptation
of Susan Orlean z’ book the orchid thief
it turned into a wild commentary about
the hardships of being a creative writer
adapting so well shameful it’s like
running away Kaufman challenges all the
screenwriting conventions that are
enforced by instructors like Robert
McKee while also making fun of the
film’s own storytelling tropes like
voice over narration god help you if you
use voice over in your work my friends
god help you it’s flaccid sloppy writing
and the idiot can write voice over
narration to explain the thoughts of a
character the real star in this movie is
its screenplay which earned Kaufman and
his fictional twin brother an Oscar
nomination sounds exciting thanks man
number two last action hero I know
you’ve never heard of this man but his
actual name believe it or not is Arnold
Schwarzenegger everyone in the 80s and
90s grew up on Arnold Schwarzenegger
movies I’ll be back in Last Action Hero
young film buff Danny gets to live out
his dream of taking on bad guys along
Schwarzenegger is Jack Slater you think
you’re funny don’t you I know I am the
famous comedian on the ground try go
Schwarzenegger is some title being an
action-movie junkie Danny knows that
Slater’s world is governed by cliches
I’m in the movie holy cow only
unattractive women are non-existent
villains always monologue for too long
and our masculine hero can never resist
a bad pun or blowing something up the
only thing he can’t do drop the f-bomb
in a pg-13 movie
you can’t you can’t possibly say because
this movie is pg-13 admit it before we
reference our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions no no no we
understand you’re feeling a little
insecure that is totally natural that’s
good actually because you’re playing an
actress they’re all in surgery I’m not
sick you are I’m freaking out yes you
Tyler Durden
my name is Wayne Campbell
I live in Aurora Illinois which is a
suburb of Chicago excellent
number one scream hello yes boys this
while Wes Craven adores the cliches that
make up the horror genre he’s also
willing to make fun of them I’m getting
ready to watch a video
really what oh just some scary movie
like scary uh-huh
Craven portrayed himself in the
feature-length in-joke new nightmare
well I sort of think of it as a
nightmare in progress and provided a
love letter to the horror movie formula
in scream scary night isn’t with a
murderous at all it’s like right out of
a horror movie or something while the
characters in the 1996 film have seen
their fair share of slasher flicks
jeez duh they’re still prone to the same
obvious mistakes that every horror
character seems to make like running up
the stairs from a masked killer for
example no no it’s just what’s the point
they’re all the same some stupid killer
stalking some big-breasted girl who
panicked who’s always running up the
stairs when she should be going out the
front door it’s insulting
regardless scream remains the ultimate
guide to surviving a horror film
reminding us never to say I’ll be right
back never ever ever under any
circumstances say I’ll be right back cuz
you won’t be back I’m getting another
beer you want one yeah sure I’ll be
right back
