LIEN
(originally Alien)
The commercial spacecraft Nostromo is on a return trip to Earth with a seven-member crew in stasis: Captain Dallas (Ricardo Montalbán), Executive Officer Kane (Hervé Villechaize), Warrant Officer Ripley (Naomi Watts), Navigator Lambert (Katharine Hepburn), Science Officer Ash (John Wayne), and two Engineers, Parker (Marlon Brando) and Brett (Ernie Hudson). All of a sudden, the spacecraft falls apart before everyone's eyes--revealing the whole thing to be a gigantic set at 20th Century Fox.
Unfortunately, the director, Mr. Directorman (Jerry Lewis), spent all his money on that wonderful-yet-ridiculous cast and couldn't pay back what he owed to pay for the set, forcing the bank to put a lien on the sets.
Can the crew of the Nostromo, the crew of the movie, and Mr. Directorman finally accumulate enough money to pay the bank? Or will the evil, fat-cat bank president, Mr. Axeman (Tommy Lee Jones), get his way? And who is the mysterious man (Ridley Scott) lurking in the wings, ready to make his own movie from Directorman's script? Find out in this new, riveting, metafictional, very technically-caught-up-in-details-about-property-law--but still riveting!--film!

The Three Faces of EV
Evelyn, called EV by her friends and relations, finds her self more and more unpopular as these friends (and relations) learn to their dismay that not only is EV deliberately a two faced liar but she has developed a destructive personality which seems to be totally out of her control.
Demonic possession is suspected. Or too many viewing of Sybyl by an unhinged and susceptible mind.

I had a very similar thought that you did... Except, that it was never a movie set... After landing on LV426, the bank sent repo-men to take back the Nostromo, and stranded the entire crew on the surface with the Alien Eggs.

A Star Trek Prequel... The Ridges Of Madison County... In 1965, A National Geographic photographer named Robert Kincaid (Clint Eastwood), hears rumors of a strange community of people in Madison County, Iowa that all have forehead ridges, and goes there to investigate. He encounters a woman named FranChes'Ka (Meryl Streep) and she tells him, that their people are aliens, called Klingons. Their Bird of Prey was exploring the galaxy when they ran into an destructive spacial disturbance, and their ship was severely damaged and went out of control. Eventually, the ship was caught in the gravity well of Earth, and burnt up on it's uncontrolled decent in the atmosphere, but the crew were able to beam out, before the ship was destroyed. Since they had no way to get back home or send a distress signal to call for help, They knew they needed to make a new life for themselves, and decided to start a farming community, so they could stay away from the indigenous human population who were afraid of the idea of "Martian" invasions. FranChes'Ka then tells Robert that her husband and children are away in the mountains on a hunting trip, and won't be back for four days. Robert spends a lot of time with FranChes'Ka, learning about the Klingons and their culture. As they spend more time with each other, they begin to realize that they are falling in love, and they have extramarital affair with each other that changes both their lives forever. But FranChes'Ka declares that she must maintain her marriage, and take care of her children, and Robert realizes that he can not stay there if he can not be with FranChes'Ka. Heartbroken, Robert decides to leave, but, promises to keep the Klingon community a secret from the rest of the world, so that FranChes'Ka will be safe.

Twelve Angry Me
Originally conceived as an all-star remake of the jury room classic, the producers started with Jim Carrey who demanded way too much money. So....
Jim Carrey plays a timid juror, the only holdout for a not guilty verdict after the jury starts deliberation. When one of the tough jurors stares him down, Carrey faints and then dreams he is alone in the jury room. One by one, he takes on the characteristics of each of the other jurors and then emerges from his body as that new juror (using fancy "The Mask"-style effects). Eventually, Jim faces 11 other versions of himself posing as the other jurors. One by one, he argues with them until he gets them all to vote "not guilty." He then wakes up ready to use all of those arguments - only to have the bailiff walk in and announce that the defendant just committed suicide after writing a detailed confession including where all the bodies were buried.
A real treat for Jim Carrey fans....and pretty much nobody else.

The sad thing is that most of these synopses have more original ideas than most of what modern-day Hollywood is producing--and all we're doing is dropping one letter!

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad Word
Various loonies decide to ban the word "help" because it starts with "hel" and that sounds like Hell and might offend some people. All-star cast stage massive telethon to get people to buy into their message. Finally, the word "help" is outlawed, replaced with people shouting "assistance!" instead. All is well - until someone points out that the first three letters in that word aren't too nice either.
