Line 18:
* ''[[Slumdog Millionaire]]'' has this as the framework of three quarts part of the film. The main character is being detained by the police on suspicions of having cheat in a ''[[Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?]]'' [[expy]] show, and the [[Whole-Episode Flashback|ensuing narrative]] is him telling the policemen that he knew the answers he gave for perfectly natural reasons related with his life story.
* ''[[The Usual Suspects]]'' narrative is the interrogation of the only survivor of a deadly shootout. Sadly for the inspector doing the interrogation, he has the ultimate [[Unreliable Narrator]] sitting in front of him.
* ''[[Big Trouble in Little China]]'' starts with Egg Shen being interviewed by a police officer about the events of the film -- and once we launch into the action, we never come back to that scene, leaving the framing device unresolved.
