The Most Meta Movies, Ranked by MovieWeb

"Meta movies have defied traditional means of storytelling. Whether through on-the-nose imagery or a throw-away one-liner or two, these films are grounded in self-awareness. This filmmaking style allows the film itself to have a conversation with the audience directly. The meta-process shatters the fourth wall and immerses the viewer into the world of the movie. It is a clever process of filmmaking that a few motion pictures have set high standards for. One of the most important and key components of establishing a meta world is having the world be compelling enough for the audience to care. This can be done by having characters that are interesting and relatable and somehow are reaching out to the audience consciously or subconsciously. That relatability will allow for a seamless transition that will bring the audience into the world of the film and the minds of its characters. Here are some of the most prominent." - movieweb.com
