When Harry meta Sally
It must be so frustrating to be a fictional character who likes watching movies. Every time you go to the cinema, either something int💙errupts the film so you don't get to see the end, or the film's plot is so relevant to your own storyline it's as if someone were trying to tell you something. How are you meant to concentrate?
On-the-nose insights from🍷 films in films aside, it's always fun when characters in movies go to the cinema. It makes them more relatable, somehow - probably because we spend way too much time watching films. The characters in these 20 films might not be full-blown cinephiles, but for the most part, they've got pretty good taste in ♛movies...
Zombieland (2009)
The film: A zom💎-com about a ragtag group of survivors making their way across America.
The Blob (1958)
The film: Speaking of The Blob, the 50s science-fiction movie about a revo🐼lting alien th෴at lands on Earth and eats everything in its path also includes a cinema scene.
The film theyre watching: When the Blob turns up, the audience at the Colonial Theatre are watching a horror double bill: Daughter Of Horror followed by I Married A Monster From Outer Space. The second o💃ne fe꧙els slightly more thematically appropriate not that anyone wants to marry the Blob.
Twister (1996)
The film: A disaster movie about a series of tornadoes and the two weather-obsessives who end up fixing their marri♓age by surviving the storm.
The film theyre watching: A tornado strikes at a drive-in where moviegoers are watching The Shining. Just as Jack Nicholson ෴smashes his way through the bathroom d🐷oor, the wind smashes through the screen.
