Check out Nestflix, which has fake movies in the movies – / Movie

For years I thought about violent film noir Angels with dirty souls presented in Alone at home was real. I was looking for him in my local video store in pre-internet days, curious to learn more about the beef between his mysterious characters, Johnny and Snakes. Eventually I learned that Angels with dirty souls didn’t actually exist – it was made specifically for the movie. But it sparked a fascination with fake movies in movies, and if you share that fascination, you’re about to hit the mother lode.

Web designer Lynn fisher has created an amazing new website called Nestflix, a fake streaming site that looks like Netflix but features tiles devoted to over 400 fake movies and TV shows that have appeared in other movies and TV shows. Take a look at some of our favorite entrees below.

Of course, you could scroll through a Wikipedia list of “movies featuring fictional films” or browse a myriad of the top 10 blog posts celebrating the most obvious selections that meet these criteria. But why would you want when Nestflix exists?

This sleek site has a familiar appearance, with everything broken down into specific categories (“Action Movies,” “Criminal Justice Reality TV,” “Game Shows with a Bit of Danger!”) And a dedicated page for each entry that contains a description of the bogus film or program and several images thereof, if available.

Fisher has also put together a handful of “collections” devoted to a single bogus artist or franchise, like the Rick Dalton Collection (with posters for every Rick Dalton movie seen in Once upon a time in hollywood), the Jump Street collection (with the big end of credits gag of 22 rue du saut with all the fake sequels that never materialized), the Lucas Lee collection (with posters of every Chris Evans ‘fake movie’ Scott Pilgrim vs the world character stars) and:

Some of my favorite Nestflix entries

The Truman Show, of The Truman Show

The case, of Super 8

Yo teaches…!, of Funny people

Sunrise bay, of Schitt Creek

Why Fisher would spend what must have been an inordinate amount of time to set this up, I have no idea, but I thank her for her service. It is not only an amazing resource for movie and TV lovers, but also an amazing distraction that will surely provide days of entertainment while I click until my heart is satisfied. Oh, and if you don’t see one of your favorites, you can fill out a form and Fisher could just add your entry.

We salute you, Lynn Fisher. Well done.
