A great genius indeed. I regret I have not watched all the classics you mention here.
I have to find those and watch them now.
I did grow up watching Get Smart, my first and best source of information about the cold war and the bizarre intrigues of global politics. :)
I think that we in dire need of high quality parodies. The scary-movie-type have become about the only commercial ones and they are well beneath the dignity of criticism.
