Tyler from Seattle: I just watched Hearts of Darkness and was thinking, what are the best movies about other movies? Most that I think of are documentaries but there are more narrative films like Ed Wood or The Disaster Artist. Some of mine are Best Worst Movie and Overnight. What are some of yours?
- Ben: Hail, Caesar!, One Cut of the Dead, Burden of Dreams
- Brad: Tropic Thunder, Brigsby Bear, Bowfinger, Boogie Nights
- Chris: If we’re talking movies about real movies, then The Aviator and Ed Wood would be at the top of my list; movies about fictional movies – The Player, Mulholland Drive, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Barton Fink.
