Meta Films

I love The Player.
Hail Caesar was pretty underrated in my opinion.
The Disaster Artist is probably the best thing Franco's done in a while.
In retrospect, I actually really like La La Land, I don't know if that counts.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood must count, but despite being very comfy and having great performances, I found it too meandering and Tarantino's foot fetish was inserted obtusely into literally every scene (way more than his previous films).
Tropic Thunder is a straight up masterpiece.
Entourage (the movie) was disappointing and I can't remember if Ratajowski got her honkers out for it.
The Other Side of the Wind was decent. I didn't love the film within the film, but I don't think I was supposed to. While it's no Citizen Kane, it was certainly better than The Lady from Shanghai (or at least edited with better respect to Welles).

Mr Bean's Holiday

I only see Cannibal Holocaust as fitting.

Circus Kane. The definitive horror meta film.

>La La Land, I don't know if that counts.
I think that it does. Splendid homage, more so even than Once Upon in Hollywood. It's half about musician, half about actress, but its' definitely about Hollywood, with out right copied iconic scenes and filmography.

Another one of my favourites:

I wouldn't say Bowfinger was about the writing process. It's kinda about everything, but I'd say pretty much any of your other categories would be more apt.
And I'd put Boogie Nights into unsorted since it's about the actors/producers of pornography.
Also, it's not clear what this list is. Is it supposed to be a list of good films or just every film applicable? Because there are several in the thread that you haven't included

Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire

Maps to the Stars is underrated as fuck. And it has /our guy/ playing a limo driver

CQ (2001)

you are in one

Scream

I watched that on Netflix, I’ve got no idea why it isn’t a big deal.

I feel like I'm the only one who saw this movie or at least the only one that still remembers it. It's pretty good

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this, I’ll add it to my list.

Have another forgotten one

Rear Window couldn't be more overt in its window-as-screen imagery, with each window representing a splinter in the storyline that could be just as interesting as the main plot.

Inglorious Basterds features film as a weapon (and the creation, proliferation and interpretation thereof) at its heart. The "Big Face" has various interpretations but it's most literal wraps together aspects of all the plotlines, from Hammersmark's defecting actress, Fassbender's film critic turned soldier, and the entire concept and execution of Operation Kino.

Both films could not be more 'film about film' if they tried.
