Recommendations for movies featuring a movie w/in a movie
Lately I’ve been drawn to movies that feature a movie within a move or otherwise peer behind the curtain of movie making as an integral element of the story. Of the ones I’ve seen, my favorites to date are: The Player, Contempt, Sunset Blvd., and Day for Night.
Others I’ve seen include: The Big Picture, Bowfinger, and Shadow of the Vampire. What other flicks along these lines can members recommend?

It is like a movie coming to "Real Life".

There are some great ones listed.
I have to second:
CQ - Awesome awesome film.
The Majestic - Some people don't like this one, but it's one of my all time faves!
Shadow of the Vampire - More of a fictional look at the making of a movie, but great nonetheless and shouldn't be missed.

It played on TCM last month, so its likely they will play it again considering the director/stars.

Galaxy Quest is a bit of a stretch, but could probably work for this category as well.
