In Bruges 2008
I love this film more every time I see it. Best film of 2008 and one of my favorites of the aughts. Fantastic score, hilarious and poignant performances by Brendan Gleeson, Colin Farrell and Ralph Fiennes, and the script is darkly comedic perfection. I will always anticipate a Martin McDonagh film because of this one.
Jonathan Hartness commented on Adam Kempenaar’s Marathon: Korean Auteurs list
Since you disqualified all of his other films, I have to recommend Barking Dogs Never Bite. Bong Joon-ho is easily my favorite Korean director, and his first film would make a nice addition to the marathon.

Per Wikipedia, "Metafilm is a style of film-making which presents the film as a story about film production."
This list represents the films I've seen that meet this description, or are primarily about film-making or movies, or deconstructing a genre. I didn't include spoofs (Airplane!, Scary Movie, etc.).

There's probably nothing more subjective than humor. I'm ranking these films based on the laughs, so a lot of the "smarter," more subtle comedies won't be on this list.
