Pitch is a good one about pitching a script.

OVERNIGHT - a terrifying documentary I learned about from this site!

 

[Doghouse Reilly]

What's the doco with Terry Gilliam called? "Lost In La Mancha"? Definitely worth watching to see how it can all go wrong.

It's only loosely about making a movie, but it's fun anyway. It also has the most cameos of any film I know of, and has an over eight minute single shot opening sequence.

"The Player"

watched it last night... Well not what I really wanted... I have seen no "film set"... it's just a story about producer... I like films where they make film, films I can see sets etc... Films like this always give me motivation

Burden of Dreams, Les Blank's documentary about the making of Fitzcarraldo (Werner Herzog)

LDS. My point was... you should make your own movie about making a movie... get YOUR ideas out there. Good or bad. Make something. Life is too short to just sit back and watch.

haha been there, done that... I actually made film about making a film, which is the worst film I've done lol

"The Amateurs" is worth checking out. Doesn't have the highest ratings, but a great cast and it made me laugh. (It might have been released as "The Moguls" in the UK.)

Bow Finger = rofl...

"Adaptation" is about screen writing..
