I've been trying to find a list of movies whose plots center on the film industry in some degree or fashion. I recently picked up Robert Altman's "The Player" and own "Swimming with Sharks" (great cult classic for those who haven't seen it). Any other recommendations?

Simone with A.Pacino comes to mind.

I liked that movie "Be Kind Rewind" starring Jack Black and Mos Def. The 1st half was better than the 2nd half, but still entertaining.

Greatest movie ever - Barton Fink.

Capital does NOT produce B-pictures!

Barbie-Shrimp · 01-21-2009, 05:57 PM

Adaptation
Barton Fink
CQ
Boogie Nights
King Kong

...I'll think of more later.

OK - how about 8-1/2?

Oh - and Living in Oblivion. Great movie.

Ed Wood
The Muppet Movie
Inland Empire

Get Shorty is a guilty pleasure.

Be Kind, Rewind is really a great movie imo. The first half has the fun and the other movie references, but it's a great feelgood ending. My eyes misted up, I won't lie.

Some that are [loosely] tied to movies:

Sunset Blvd.
Singin' in the Rain
The Bad and the Beautiful

Sullivan's Travels
Ed Wood
The Stunt Man

Mulholland Drive
Gods and Monsters
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (this counts, right?)

BigLuvJason · 01-21-2009, 06:09 PM

Last Action Hero....haha

SDon1969 · 01-21-2009, 06:13 PM

Adaptation - was that a movie about a movie, or a movie about a book, or a movie about a book being turned into a movie? I have seen it once, but forget...

All very good choices. I thought Peter O'toole was excellent in The Stunt Man. Of course, Singin in the Rain is one of the best films ever made.

State and Main.

I doubt anyone realizes what exactly an "Associate Producer" credit is until they've watched this movie.
