An all-Stewart post:
HARVEY in FIELD OF DREAMS ('That man is sick,' says Costner about Elwood P.)
IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE in GREMLINS (as well as on a memorable opening segment on 'Cheers').
THE STRATTON STORY -- Stewart and June Allyson watch Gable and Turner making out from SOMEWHERE I'LL FIND YOU in a movie theater.
RADIO DAYS -- Aunt Bea and her date take her nephew to Radio City Music Hall to see Jimmy and Kate embrace in THE PHILADEPHIA STORY.

The shape of things to come: "Ass"from Mike Judge's Idiocracy (2006), set 500 years in the future. Though based on some of the stuff that passes for entertainment these days, I think they under-estimated how quickly this may be an unfortunate reality.

And let's not forget What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, that features clips from both Davis and Crawford films.

What about movies that FEATURE a movie being made, not just showing clips or having people watch it on TV?

Myra Breckinridge (1970) The Last Tycoon (1976) Blow Out (1981) Ed Wood (1994) State and Main (2000) Shadow of the Vampire (2000) What Just Happened? very, very briefly in the climax of Raiders of the Lost Ark Plus, others have already listed Hail, Caesar!

Abbott and Costello in Hollywood features a lengthy scene where Costello is in a movie. And don't forget Disney's Chicken Little that features the characters watching a movie about Chicken Little, voiced by Adam West.
Doesn't "How to Make a Monster" feature a film being shot?

Dude, I created the frickin' thread, so yeah, I've read through it. The POINT is movies within movies, ie: being made within a movie, like Singin' in the Rain. That doesn't encompass films with filmclips from real movies...and there are too many of those being cited. Got it now, dickhead?

naterdawg Dude said : I like movies within movies, like Singin' in the Rain. Just thought I'd let you know.
That wasn't even a question for crying out loud, Dude !
The THREAD has expanded since your minimalist OP. Deal with it !

In L.A Confidential Russell Crowe and Kim Basinger go on a date to see Roman Holiday. Austin Powers in Goldmember begins with the making of an Austin Powers movie starring Tom Cruise as Austin Powers.

The phrase "movies within movies" suggests those (fictional or otherwise) actually seen within a film to as many as it does those being made within it. We had a thread here some weeks back that was more specific, focusing on films about film making, which is what you now seem to be looking for. Citing Singin' In the Rain doesn't narrow it down, because it features both. I'm among those to whom the phrase "movies within movies" (or film-within-a-film) means one seen rather than one being made. As such, I was the first to break your previously unstated rule ("That doesn't encompass films with filmclips from real movies"), for which I apologize if it upset you. It was done from that different understanding of the given criterion. If you wish a thread to adhere to a more rigid one, greater specificity would help (more so than calling people "dickhead"). Just the same, it's the nature of forums such as this that once a thread is started, its creator loses control of it (unless it's one involving scoring, like a GarthGame) and it will go where others choose to take it. I consider that a feature rather than a bug, but there's really nothing that can be done about it either way. These are the helpfully-intended observations from the "Dog" to the "dawg."

I don't think anyone has mentioned "Blazing Saddles."
When a fight breaks out between the outlaws and townspeople, it spills over onto the next sound stage (where a musical is being filmed) and then out into the street. Hedley flags a taxi ("Drive me off this picture") which takes him to Grauman's Chinese where "Blazing Saddles" is playing. Just as soon as his sits down, he sees on the screen that Black Bart has followed him on horseback to the theater. He nearly chokes on his Raisinettes.
EDIT: "Blazing Saddles" sort of blurs the line between "movies being watched in movies" and "movies being made." Come to think of it, Brook's film doesn't blur the line, it obliterates it.
Another great movie about making movies is Truffaut's La Nuit Américaine (Day For Night) (1973)

naterdawg aw how nice. You altered your original response and showed even more of your true colors. WTG dude. Dude, I created the frickin' thread, so yeah, I've read through it. The POINT is movies within movies, ie: being made within a movie, like Singin' in the Rain. That doesn't encompass films with filmclips from real movies...and there are too many of those being cited.

New material highlighted
OP :"I like movies within movies, like Singin' in the Rain. Just thought I'd let you know." Really not a heck of a lot of detail in that post! Keep trying. Maybe you will get the hang of it eventually.
Meanwhile the good folks at Classics will keep making something interesting out of the nothingness provided by OPs such as yours. Y'all Have a Nice Day now, ya hear, Dude !

Doghouse6once a thread is started, its creator loses control of it ... and it will go where others choose to take it. A feature more than a bug. <--- Words of wisdom ! This one didn't exactly tangent. It just meandered onto its own theme when one was not provided succinctly by the OP in the OP.

Well, you're wrong, ok? Thanks. And that guy is a dickhead. He's followed me all around this place, and not just on this thread.
