I know this has happened in quite a few movies, where at some point one or some of the characters will end up watching another (real) movie on TV. usually only for a few seconds, if that... anyone think of examples? It's bugging me that none are coming to mind...

The Matrix - The kids at The Oracle's house are watching Night Of The Lepus
The Killer Eye - The two stoners in the basement are watching a porno, which is the shower scene from Creepozoids
Dudes - a gunfight breaks out in a movie theater that's playing Jesse James (1939)
Headhunter (1988) - for no apparent reason, a local TV station is playing The Hideous Sun Demon

The Kids in Halloween are watching the original The Thing.
And while Jackie Chan is fighting a dude in a cinema in City Hunter, Bruce Lee's Game of Death is showing.

interesting, didn't know that

now there's some obscure knowledge  Thumbup


I've remembered the movie which got me thinking about this was HOME ALONE. there's a scene where Kevin's watching some old gangster type flick, and I think he repeats some dialogue from it. but according to imdb this isn't a real movie and was done specially for Home Alone. - however there is apparently a scene where Kevin watches a bit of GONE WITH THE WIND, which I don't remember

For a somewhat meta example- in the 1990's HBO made-for-tv remake of Attack of the 50ft woman  Nancy t(the titular 50ft woman) walks pass a drive through that's playing the original 1950's AOT50FW.

In Gremlins 2  the gremlins watch Beast from 20,000 Fathoms  The part where it eats a cop.

Patrick Bateman watched The Texas Chainsaws Massacre in American Psycho

In Serial Mom they watch Blood Feast (and Annie ha ha)

I have a question, I watched a recent(ish) film staring the brilliant Dick Miller and he was watching a film that had himself in and I just can't remember what it was called.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
