Movies where they watch another movie/short/toon in a theater

On the heels of the great thread "movies where they watch another movie on tv" comes this thread, about movies where people watch another movie (or short, or cartoon) on the big screen. If you can, tell us what movie/short/toon was playing. Or if you don't know, maybe ask us here.

One example:
GARBAGE PAIL KIDS: THE MOVIE
The titular kids annoy patrons of a theater during a showing of the Three Stooges short MALICE IN THE PALACE.
There's also TERROR IN THE AISLES, which is chock full of patrons watching various movies in theaters.

Yer up folks! Go!

Cinema patrons are watching a Bruce Lee film (possibly Game Of Death) while killer rats attack in the movie DEADLY EYES. Director Robert Clouse did both movies.

The films Demons and Anguish come to mind.

^ Yes, both were not real movies.. I don't remember much about the one in DEMONS but the one in ANGUISH was called "The Mommy". It's been quite a while since I've seen either of those films. I kind of like cinema scenes in movies. Seeing the concession stand makes me hungry. Remember those old juice machines?

I watched "Dead Heat" the other night and the character 'Dan Bigelow' (Joe Piscopo) was appropriately watching the original version "DOA" just before he gets offed.

Wasn't there a scene like this in He Knows You're Alone?

Yeah, it's at the beginning. A gal gets stabbed THROUGH HER SEAT?!

Can't tell what movie it is or if it's a real movie (probably not).

I'm sure glad the link thing got fixed so we don't have to hit "share" anymore.

In the original THE BLOB the audience is watching the truly oddball movie DEMENTED aka DAUGHTER OF DARKNESS when THE BLOB squishes out from the projection room. Despite what the marquee says, Bela Lugosi's not in it - but Ed McMahon's voice is.
