When I first read the title of this thread, Pink Floyd The Wall (1982) immediately came to mind.  Throughout the movie, "Pink" continuously watches "The Dam Busters" (1955) on TV.

If you go to a movie's IMDb page and click on "See more" in the "Connections" area, it will bring you to a page listing, among other things, all other movies or TV shows that are shown in the movie (in the "Features" category).

In "Lair of the White Worm," when Mary Trent (Sammi David) is exploring Temple House, while the villainess is out, she walks in on her mother Dorothy Trent (Imogen Claire), who has not been seen for the past year, watching TV on which a woman (Jackie Russell) is dancing with a snake. Not only do you have another snake reference, but . . .?! when the woman puts the snake up to her mouth, there is the sexual connotation of an oral nature.

Then sometime before this, we get James D'Ampton (Hugh Grant) watching Melies' "The Brahmin and the Butterfly" from 1901 on the TV in the bedroom. 1901 to 1988 or 87 years, is that another record?
