Movies in which real or fictional characters meet each other

In one episode of Friday the 13th, The Series, they followed a vampire back in time and although they didn't know it at the time, they ended up helping out Bram Stoker. In another episode, the redhead, Micki, got sent back in time and met the Marquis De Sade.

"Murder by Death" also featured Charlie Chan as played by Peter Sellers.

And Yaddo42's mention of "The Gambler" reminded me of "Alias Jesse James" w/ Bob Hope, in which Bob Hope sells a life insurance policy to Jesse James (Wendell Corey) and has to get it back.

And in the concluding shootout, Bob Hope who is shooting it out with Jesse and Frank James (Jim Davis) and their gang is supported by Marshal Matt Dillon (James Arness), Maj. Seth Adams (Ward Bond), Annie Oakley (Gail Davis), Bret Maverick (James Garner), Wyatt Earp (Hugh O'Brien), and Davy Crockett (Fess Parker) and Gary Cooper, Bing Crosby, Roy Rogers, and Trigger as themselves.

And the upcoming "Van Helsing" reminds me of "The House of Frankenstein" and "The House of Dracula," where the Monster meets Dracula meets the Wolfman, etc.

Also Abbott and Costello did a series of films in which they met a number of famous horror characters. My favorite "Abbott and Costell Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" w/ Boris Karloff as Jekyll and Hyde.

There are loads of Dr. Who episodes where the Doctor mentions meeting or knowing famous people.  In Talons of Went Chiang he says he shared a fish with the Venerable Bede, in City of Death he helps Leo Davinci paint the Mona Lisa, etc.  In damn near every episode there's a reference like that.

Riverworld - Astronaut dies and ends up on some alien world where he meets both Samuel Clemens (AKA Mark Twain) and Nero. Clemens and Nero meet also.

Yep no Jack the Ripper in the comic book just Mina Murray, Allen Quartermain, Captain Nemo, the invisible man (Griffen i think) and Dr Jeckl/Mr Hyde. And pretty much all the secondary characters and villians are from books.
