This isn't a prime Meta Marquee example but it's close enough for miscellaneous more or less meta marquee.

There's a foot chase in the middle of The President's Analyst that shows James Coburn running past a cinema marquee advertising showings of and Breathless.

The Fellini movie is perhaps not relevant but Jean-Paul Belmondo races through the Godard movie, always pursued, until at the very end he's "out of breath" (probably a better translation of the original French title).

It's a bit of a stretch and we might not bother to mention it but there's an amusing and stronger "meta" marquee just a few moments later as James Coburn, still running as fast as he can and still being chased by foes, dashes by the Garrick Theatre, whose marquee clearly reads "NO RUNNING".
