Help with Movies set in Theatres
I'm wondering if you all can combine your wealth of knowledge about films that have characters/settings who/that:
a) Work in a movie theatre
b) Take place in a movie theatre
c) Talk about working in a movie theatre
I have thought of a few examples such as Cinema Paradiso, Cecil B. Demented and Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
How many more can you come up with? I'm working on a research project and I thought it'd be fun to see what you guys can dig up... Google wasn't much help as far as 'lists' go...

Some of these are only scenes, but I tried to list some where the scenes were important to the story:
Popcorn (1991)
The Last Picture Show
Targets (drive-in)
The Projectionist
Drive-In (1976)

The Blob
The Tingler
Night of the Comet
Ruby(Drive-in)
Fade to Black-doesn't really count but Dennis Christopher and Mickey Roarke work at a film exchange which is kinda cool.

Thanks for all the help guys - there are some very good ones in there.
I was kind of hoping to find out about a film like Clerks or Empire Records where the entire story was kind of built around the job. I wonder if such a thing exists beyond the things we've mentioned here...

Dirty Work - "Men in Black... That like to have sex with each other."
I can't think of any theater-centric films like Clerks/Empire Records though.

I never saw the actual film, but I recall the trailer for Last Action Hero and seem to recall that having a scene set in a theatre.
There's also that episode of The Simpsons where Homer forbids Bart from seeing the Itchy and Scratchy Movie.... "Mmmmm... Soylent Green"
