Mine: "Galaxy Quest." With "Last Action Hero" a distant second.

| 1. "Last Action Hero"...that was panned at the time. |
|
However, it is a smart send up of the action hero genre.
"Galaxy Quest" is also quite brilliant. I mean, it does have Alan Rickman in it.

| 4. Fiction inside fiction. |
|
Or, fiction that is fictitious from the point of view of the fictitious characters.

In that case, I think Adaptation maybe. Would that count?

| 8. I thought metafiction was when a character was aware that they... |
|
...existed inside a work of fiction.
Or is that the same thing?
Me go back skool 1 day.

| 7. I watched that a few days ago |
|
Good movie. I'm not even a huge anime fan, but it was a bit of a mindfuck.
