Thanks...I've seen 8 1/2 many times and own it; just forgot to mention it. And Adaptation too.

"MANT!" is a classic.
That's the first one I thought of.

It was set around a play, but still a great film.

I love All About Eve. Another interesting stage related flick is Carmen (1983), which chronicles rehearsals for a flamenco production of Bizet’s Opera. In keeping with the movie within a movie theme, offstage the actors begin to mirror the characters from the opera. The music (featuring Paco de Lucia) and dancing are great too.

Hrm, so many movies have already been mentioned... Off the top of my head, here are more--but a couple might be a stretch:

The Rocketeer (peurile, yes)
The Blair Witch Project
Get Shorty
Lethal Weapon 2 (briefly)
Sex, Lies, and Videotape (duh )
American Beauty? (I so loathe this movie.)

At one point in Catch Me If You Can DiCaprio's character sees Goldfinger
Spoiler:
and then emulates a couple of scenes from that movie. They also show some clips from Goldfinger

(I'm gonna assume you're not being sarcastic.)

8 1/2 is an Italian film by the famous director Fellini. Considered a landmark, out on Criterion DVD.
