In the 1988 film The Naked Gun, Frank Drebin and Jane follow the consummation of their relationship with a romantic montage set to a Herman's Hermits cover of "I'm Into Something Good".

Identify this Oscar winning film which, in the words of the character Chris, was a fight for his soul between the good Sgt. Elias and the evil Sgt. Barnes.

This film's title character and Gretchen go on a date to see The Evil Dead, during which the title character sneaks out to burn down the home of Jim Cunningham. This turns out to be a good thing, since Jim Cunningham had stashes of child pornography in the house, which are discovered by the police. Ultimately, the title character of this film dies when the end of the film takes him back to the beginning of the film. Identify this dark film which takes place over (roughly) 28 days, and stars a clothed Maggie Gyllenhaal, a dramatic Drew Barrymore, and a very confused Jake Gyllenhaal.

This film is about the filming of a film with the same name. The fake film is to be based on a book about the Battle of Cowpens by history professor Michael Burgess, who is not only dealing with his mother (played by Lillian Gish) but a prima donna leading man (Michael Caine), a script writer (Bob Hoskins) trying to butcher his book, and a director (Saul Rubinek) who wants more violence and sex. In the end, Burgess leads a revolution of the local extras by blowing up the sets, and having the men strip down to make the climactic scene more violent and sexy. Identify this 1986 film which was written by, directed by, and starred Alan Alda.

One of the films within this real 1997 film features the characters Brock Landers and Chest Rockwell who are tough-as-nails cops who use martial arts and finely coiffed hair to bring down the bad guys while wooing the ladies. That fictional film, Brock Landers: Angels Live in My Town, is directed by Jack Horner who so much wants his audience to appreciate the artistry, even if lady parts and man parts occasionally mash together.

At one point in the 1978 classic, Halloween, little Tommy and Lindsey are at home watching an old movie, which you can see and hear on screen occasionally. This 1951 film is a bit of foreshadowing, but not of future events in Halloween, rather, it foreshadows the director's next film project. Unconfirmed stories about this film include William Faulkner contributing to the screenplay, and producer Howard Hawks doing much of the directing despite Christian Nyby getting the credit. Give the full 5-word title of this 1951 film starring James Arness as the title character, and which had a remake anchor what the director would call his "Apocalypse Trilogy" with Prince of Darkness and In the Mouth of Madness.

The very real Eli Roth directed this fictional film (under the pseudonym Alois von Eichberg). This film stars the fictional Frederic Zoller who was played by the real Daniel Brühl. Zoller becomes smitten with a cinema owner named Shoshana, and Zoller arranges for this film to premiere at Shoshana's cinema, allowing her to splice in a few seconds of her claiming revenge before torching the building with most of the Third Reich's leadership inside. Identify this film which was integral to the plot of Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds.

One scene in this film sees a father and son watching the 1955 film Rififi, while the son eats around the raisinettes that his father has added to the tub of popcorn. The son eventually asks out Nicole, the woman working the concession counter, but breaks up with her when he determines that she would be a distraction, and that he could never be attentive enough to her.

Identify this film which largely centers on Miles Teller, a student at Shaffer Conservatory, and an instructor named Fletcher.

In the film Prometheus, the android David has a lot of time on his hands while waiting for the ship to arrive at LV-223, and can be seen watching this movie.

Identify this Oscar winning film which,from an awards standpoint, is remembered today for the one award that this film should have won, and didn't.

One scene in this film sees Robert coming downstairs to see Ethan watching Shrek. Robert appears upset, given that Ethan and his mother, Anna, had rescued him the night before, shortly after Robert had been forced to kill his faithful companion, Sam. Despite being out of it, Robert begins, reflexively, quoting the dialogue from Shrek exactly ... perhaps because he had watched this film many times with his late daughter. Identify this apocalyptic film set in New York sometime after a fictional "Batman vs. Superman" film had come out.

This is another case where the real and film-within-the-film share the same title. The fictional film sees playwright Henry travel to Egypt where he and his friends meet archaeologist Tom Baxter. Baxter notices the same sad woman named Cecillia watching the film many times, and enters the real world to meet her. Eventually Gil Shepherd, the actor who plays Baxter arrives to coax him back into the movie by winning Cecillia's heart from Baxter, only to abandon her once Baxter leaps back onto the screen, saving his career.

In the 1958 version of this film, a significant scene takes place at the (very real and still open) Colonial movie theater (in Phoenixville, PA) during a showing of a real film called Daughter of Horror.

In both cases, some of the patrons never make it out of the theater ... undigested. Identify the common title of these two films, one of which was the first starring role for a young Steve McQueen, the other starring Kevin Dillon (and with a second remake still on schedule for 2016).
