In The Brothers Rico (1957) dir: Phil Karlson, former Mob accountant (Richard Conte)'s senile immigrant grandmother is uncomprehendingly watching Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (1956) dir: Fred F Sears, and laughing her head off (as we would too). Oops!

... crew members nearly riot and attack the poor protectionist ... People can get very heated about trade tariffs.

Woody allen films are full of films within films Hannah and her sisters - DUCK SOUP as the antidote for the craziness of life Annie Hall- the Sorrow and the pity and yes, there is a very short clip Purple rose of Cairo- TOP HAT, and of course The imaginary film Purple Rose of Cairo The Mirror Crack’d - starring Angela Lansbury as Miss Marple has an imaginary fwaf , Murder at Midnight a very good imitation of a British film of the 30’s Radio Days- Aunt Béa took Joe the Radio city to see Philadelphia Story Crimes and Misdemeanors- THIS GUN FOR HIRE, FRANCIS, HAPPY GO LUCKY, Mr And Mrs Smith, The Last Gangster Manhattan murder mystery - Double Indemnity, Lady From Shanghai, I thought tgere was a scene from a Bob Hope comedy.Woody talks about it a lot and I realized for the first time how much of Woody’s film style comes from Hope. sorry if this is a repeat of anything higher in the thread. Play it Again, Sam, written by Woody Allen, is a salute to Humphrey Bogart's film persona and the film Casablanca. The film begins with Allen's character watching the end of that Bogart film in a revival house, obviously for the umpteenth time as he knows all the lines, and wishing he could emulate Bogart. Woody Allen stated in an interview a few years later that he was a great admirer of Bob Hope and "stole" a lot from the comedian. This would be reflected in a great sketch from SCTV, "Play it Again, Bob," in which Rick Moranis as Allen watches a Bob Hope movie (supposedly I'll Take Sweden, but not shown), then meets his idol, Hope (Dave Matthews). So a movie-within-a-movie parody of a movie-within-a-movie.

In Natural Born Killers (1994) dir: Oliver Stone, the lovebirds take a female hostage to a motel room where the films Midnight Express (1978) dir: Alan Parker, and Scarface (1983) dir: Brian De Palma are showing on television, Oliver Stone wrote the screenplays to both films.

Maybe this one's been done but in the film Zodiac the lead detective, Dave Toschi, sees Dirty Harry in a theater. Clever, as Dirty Harry is based on the Zodiac killer and Harry Callahan is loosely based on Dave Toschi. (So is Bullitt.) Dirty Harry came out while the Zodiac case was still hot, so Toschi might well have seen it. In the film he walks out of the theater.

Leila (1997) Iran, Dir. Dariush Mehrjui. A beautifully composed Iranian drama tells the compelling story of married couple Leila and Reza who struggle to maintain their close relationship, after Reza's mother demands a second wife, following Leila's announcement that she is infertile... A touching scene of domestic bliss, Leila and Reza, sit down to a movie, Doctor Zhivago (1965) the shot below of Julie Christie first appears introducing a scene from the movie within a movie...

Just watched Black Widow recently, and in it Natasha Romanoff (Scarlet Johansson) is rewatching the 1979 film Moonraker (which is apparently a favourite of hers, since she's reciting the film's dialogue as she watches).

Bizarre movie Under the Silver Lake (2018), written and directed by David Robert Mitchell, utilizes clips from How to Marry a Millionaire, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and 7th Heaven (1927) starring Janet Gaynor, with whom the protagonist's mum is infatuated (reminding me of certain posters on here). Indeed the latter film appears to play a part in the movie's resolution after our hero (Andrew Garfield) is overwhelmed by the implications of all that he has found out and, while watching the said movie, of which his mum has sent him a videotape, apparently decides to give up trying to make sense of life and just enjoy it while he can. A Woody Allen-style conclusion, though Woody turned to the Marx Brothers rather than Janet Gaynor for solace.

Золотой телёнок , The Golden Calf (1968) Soviet Union Dir. Mikhail Shveytser. A wonderfully entertaining film was adapted from the satirical novel of the same name by Soviet authors Ilf and Petrov, published in 1931. The stories main character, Ostap Bender, also appears in a previous well known novel by the authors called The Twelve Chairs. Here the charming con-man Ostap Bender who dreams of Rio de Janeiro schemes to extort 1 million from an underground millionaire... Opening this film is another film, straight to the cinema screen complete with piano accompaniment, Bender sleeps in a small cinema as the silent comedy Процесс о трех миллионах , The Three Million Trial (1926) is playing. It is a delightful cinematic scene, a small audience of mixed ages watch spellbound as the adult action unfolds...

In L'appât (1995), dir: Bertrand Tavernier, appear clips of: --- Scarface (1983) dir: Brian De Palma --- Tandem (1987) dir: Patrice Leconte
The Scarface clip reflects on one of the themes of the movie, the corruption of French culture and morals by Americanization. I am not familiar with the Leconte film but I doubt its inclusion is without a reason. Can anyone explain it?

Both the gremlins in Gremlins (1984) dir: Joe Dante and the monkeys in Jumanji (1995) dir: Joe Johnston enjoy watching on TV the winged monkeys in The Wizard of Oz (1939) dir: Victor Fleming (et al). Perhaps congratulating themselves that SFX had moved along quite a bit since 1939.

Jeff Bridges as STARMAN watches Debbie and Burt embracing on the beach in FROM HERE TO ETERNITY, which gives him valuable earthly lessons ... much to the delight of earth girl Karen Allen.
