In ""Only the Lonely"" (1991), Ally Sheedy appeases prospective mother-in-law Maureen O'Hara by going along to see the 1939 film ""How Green Was My Valley"" - starring Maureen O'Hara. Richard LaGravenese, slighted by critic Gene Siskel over his screenplay for ""The Fisher King"" (1991) wrote an unsavory character named Siskel into ""The Ref"" (1994).Movies and television shows often feature inside jokes. Sometimes there are characters named after crew members. Directors are often featured in cameo appearances - Alfred Hitchcock's silhouette can be seen in ""Family Plot"" (1976), for example. This work catalogs such occurrences. Each entry includes the title of the film or show, year of release, and a full description of the in-joke.
