I remember in Star Trek Generations they got too cheap to blow up a new Klingon warbird, so they just used the same explosion shot from Star Trek 6. Pretty...lame.

And Trading Places was just rerun this weekend (I know, big shock) - which features a fairly length cut of a security guard watching Sunset Boulevard for some reason.

Those weren't real movies though. Those scenes were made specifically for the Home Alones...

Nightmare on Elm Street shows Evil Dead playing on a TV in Nancy's bedroom.

That's the one I was thinking of. The clips from "Poor Cow" fit extremely well into the movie.

IMO, The Limey is one of the better movies of the past 5 years and very few people have seen it...

How can this thread go on this long and no one mention Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, which is largely comprised of scenes ripped from other films?

God there are hundreds if not thousands.

The Limey was unique one..because they used footage of General Zod (er Terrance) from an older movie as an actual flashback!
AUSTIN POWERS: GOLDMEMBER does something similar - showing a clip from ALFIE as a flashback for Michael Caine's character.
The Shootist used many clips from John Wayne's earlier movies to introduce the past life of his (now older) character. Though this was limited to the very beginning of the movie IIRC.

Malcolm X uses some (alternate) footage from JFK in the scene where Malcolm compares the Kennedy assassination to chickens coming home to roost. In the end credits, you will the same actors listed (the doubles for the Kennedys and Connellys in the motorcade seqeuence). Spike Lee also thanks Oliver Stone.

Femme Fatale has a clip from Double Indemnity that fits into the movie very nicely.

In Sunset Blvd. Gloria Swanson plays an aging woman who was a movie star many years earlier. Her character is obsessed with herself and watches her old films, so of course in the scene where she is watching one, it's one of Swanson's films, Queen Kelly. QK was directed by Erich von Stroheim, who plays the butler in SB.

In Airplane!, in a shot where there was a view of the runway through the plane's front window... the "runway" was a clip that, I'm not sure if it was from another movie, but it was something else that hadn't been initially filmed for Airplane.

Eh, that's the first thing that came to mind, anyway.
