Adaptations/parodies of movies

[caballero]

I'm trying to put together a list of Disney comics that are adaptations/parodies of movies. Not talking about straight adaptations such as the Silly Symphony Pinocchio adaptation, but rather comics in which Mouse, Duck or other Disney characters play roles that were played by others in the original movies.

The ones I know of in chronological order of the movies they were based on:

1927: Metropolis - inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+3189-1P
1934: It Happened One Night - inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+1981-B
1941: The Maltese Falcon - inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2012-114
1942: Casablanca - inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+1657-A
1954: La strada - inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+1866-B
1954: Read Window - inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+1671-A
1960: La Dolce Vita - inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+2935-1
1964: Goldfinger - inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL++542-AP
1981: Raiders of the Lost Ark - inducks.org/story.php?c=B+PN+++18-B
1981: Raiders of the Lost Ark - inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+1573-A
1982: Blade Runner - inducks.org/story.php?c=B+950233
1987: The Untouchables - inducks.org/story.php?c=KG+5990
2002: The Man Without a Past - inducks.org/story.php?c=D%2FSAN+2016-003
2003: Pirates of the Caribbean - inducks.org/story.php?c=I%2FD+2010-008

Do you know of any others? Which of these are your favourites?

I think i remember seeing some panels of the Metropolis spoof floating around at some point, the art looks fantastic and captures the film very well.

Might seem obvious but i'm gonna guess the Pirates parody was done to coincide with the release of the movie no?

I think you mean "Rear Window"...

For Star Wars, there's the McGreals story May the Farce Be With You. But looking for that one, I also found this, which may be a more straightforward parody?

Also, I know there's a parody of "Gone with the Wind"--but I'm not sure whether it's based on the book or the movie (or whether one can tell!).

This one's not "based on" Rear Window, but it starts off with a 5 or so page adaptation of it before expanding into a mystery about the abduction of the movie's director.

But here's a couple others:

Goldfinger: inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+1721-AP (sticks much closer to the script than Missione Bob Finger)
Temple of Doom: inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+1794-A
Romancing the Stone: inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+2069-1
A New Hope/The Empire Strikes Back: inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+1846-AP
Ghostbusters: inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+1663-A (not a straight up parody, but makes very direct references to it)

The first one that came to mind for me was Topo-San e i guerrieri d'oriente, which is a parody of Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai.

Here is a list I made on Letterboxd where I tried to gather all the Disney Comics parodies of movies!
