Line 28:
* In ''[[Buffy]]'', Faith was often watching old movies in her motel room.
* ''[[Doctor Who]]'':
** The TV movie shows the morgue guard watching ''[[Frankenstein]] (1931)'' which seems to match the trope, but the movie was used for a reason (to compare to the Doctor coming back to life) and the movie is not public domain--thedomain—the rights are owned by Universal, who produced the TV movie.
** In "[[Doctor Who/Recap/NS/S4/E10 Midnight|Midnight]]", the entertainment screens on the shuttle bus only show old black-and-white movies. Unlike most examples of the trope, the characters are aware that they're old movies, and aren't especially entertained.
** In the opening "The Impossible Astronaut", Rory is watching a [[Laurel and Hardy]] movie, ''The Flying Deuces'', which is out of copyright. Presumably this has something to do with the fact that the Doctor shows up in it briefly to wave at him -- gettinghim—getting permission to alter something under copyright is going to be a lot more difficult than merely getting permission to show a clip from it. The other reason is probably because of the [[Cool Hat|fezzes]].
