Best/Worst Self-Referential Movie/moment.

[Alf-Life]

I'm actually trying to remember this film I saw where a character said something along the lines of "This isn't a movie... it's not gonna all be alright at the end." and hoped this thread would bring it, and other examples out. :)

Apparently, when a media reaches self-referencing point, it truly becomes an artform :P (Apparently, only a handful of games have done this; Max Payne and Metal Gear Solid (1 and 2), too). But, yeah, any cool little quotes, or favourites? Thanks.

Worst:

The moment when Will Ferrel and the ranger say "It's something out of a bad movie," then look into the camera in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

Hehehe, the only thing I can think of at the moment is Spaceballs! There are a few references to Spaceballs the movie during the film (like all the merchandising scenes and also the ..."when will then be now?"..."soon" scene) :D

I think the daddy of them all is Hot Shots: Part Deux when Topper Harley's voice-over narration is overlapped by a very familiar voice. Looking up from his journal, Charlie and Martin Sheen stare at each other in long moment of recognition and announce:

"I loved you in Wall Street!"

In "Maverick," when Danny Glover robs the bank, Mel Gibson pulls his bandana from his face. There is an awkward moment of recognition there. Retreating from the bank, Glover says "I'm too old for this shit."

Best: In Magnolia when Phil Parma (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is on the phone saying that "this is the part of the movie where you help me," so that he can contact Tom Cruise's character. It's a really beautiful moment.
