Movie within a Movie posters!

[Harry Caul]

Hey all-
I came across this "Sand Pirates of the Sahara" poster from The Majestic  (w/Jim Carrey) and had to share it.  It is supposed to be a 50s adventure movie with none other than Bruce Cambell in the Errol Flynn-type role. That got me thinking of other movie within a movie posters. 



And obviously Basterds comes to mind.... there were many different movie within a movie posters in that one:

 



By the way, I know these are probably considered props and not movie posters, but who cares!  I'm sure there are a million examples... so lets see your favorites!

I know Jackson's King Kong had a poster for one of the Bruce Baxter character's films. I can't find an image though.

Cool topic, Harry.  
In the opening scenes of the original 1933 Son of Kong, Carl Denham (Robert Armstrong) is in his office ducking process servers and on the wall behind him is a poster advertising his tragic Kong exhibition from the first movie.  Recently, a dealer on Ebay had this 'tribute' poster produced after that image behind Denham and was selling it.  I didn't buy one -- for whatever reason at the time --  but I did save the image...

Looks like a similar "posters in films" idea sprouted up, c/o harry, way back in 2010!  Very cool.

I think he's talking about 'Ghost' posters.They're basically fictional films complete with posters, within the movie you're watching.

Something like this.The actual movie is the Hard Way.Fox plays, Nick Lang, an actor following Woods around for research on his fictional movie,Smoking Gunn.

Real poster.


Ghost poster.

I think you're right, Anthony... fictional, created posters in other movies, used as set dressing..

Fake movie posters for fake movies found in movies that may or may not be fake.

Rare posters these are for sure.

Paul Waines' favorite remake -- Peter Jackson's King Kong -- has a handful of fictional movie posters of "Bruce Baxter" (played by Kyle Chandler) in an onboard scene en route to Skull Island.  I can't find any images of them online and I don't know how to do screen captures (?).
Does anyone here know what I'm talking about?

Yes,yes! Your'e right.I do remember that,Ted.
