- Jefferson - A biopic of our third president with all parts including Jefferson, Sally Hemming, and King George played by Tracy Jordon (30 Rock) in Eddie Murphy style. "Who are these Americans with their ridiculous notions of freedom and equality?"
- The Orchid Thief - Charlie Kaufman and his fictional brother (Adapation) attempt to adapt this novel to film but consequently make a movie about trying to adapt it.
- Homeless Dad - One of the many movies existing in the fictional universe of Arrested Development. Todd Jane is reseaching this formulaic family comedy pertending to be homeless and fooling the Bluths in the process. "I just want my kids back." Other AD films-within-a-show include a French film featuring incestous cousins and Love Indubitably, its American remake which bombed critically and financially but becomes a Universal Studiosesque ride replacing the Tunnel of Hell. "Welcome to Love Indubitably... from hell." And the last scene of the series finale alludes to the hopefully soon to be real Arrested Development movie.
- The Power - The movie-within-a-movie of Southland Tales (or is it the real movie) written by an amnesiac (The Rock) and a porn star (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is a. "epic" science fiction movie set in a not-too-distance futuristic L.A. on the brink of environmental, economic, and social disaster caused by the Earth's rotation deaccelerating. Also, there is a child born who cannot have a BM and a marine biologist/astrophysicist.
- Home for Purim - The movie-within-a-movie of For Your Consideration tells the story of a young woman (Parker Posey) circa 1950s coming out to her religious mother (Catherine O'Hara). Eventually, Purim becomes Thanksgiving to make it more mainstream.
- The Stab of Zorro - The Simpsons has numerous fake-movie gags but this is the most memorable. A parody of The Mask of Zorro has the Scarlett Pimpernel as the villain and ends with Zorro being crowned by King George the "new" king of England and a rap songs "Z to the O to the double R-R..."
Yes, I watched it.

"Jay and Silent Bob Go Canadian, Eh?"
Which Viewaskew film is that? Though that reminds me, I should have included "Bluntman and Chronic" starring Mark Hammill as Cocknocker.
"Don't f*ck with the Jedi master boys"
It's when Kevin Smith took over Degrassi...a jump the shark moment if there ever was one.
starring Alanis Morrisette
Oh, that doesn't count. And how dare you bring Degrassi onto my blog?
