I'm thinking more about some of the in's and out's of the business from stories about actors, directors, and producers. Films where the business is a major part of the story. Not so much film that just happens to have a movie visually in the background, but rather films about the filmmaking system and/or the thinking behind making films or of the actual theater production as the major part of what is happening which leads the story and characters.

I've seen a few on your list, Scott. Unfortunately, Staying Alive was among them. Yech, what a boring waste of film.

You might want to add Singin' in the Rain. It's definitely a classic and one of the first major blockbusters about show business.

Yeah I had that one and the Jazz Singer and a Star is Born might qualify too. I think I've seen most of them and sadly Stayin' alive was one.

Only added STAYING ALIVE because of the show demanding theater producer and the struggle to make the show.

I'll add everyone recommendations. Thanks. Looks like A STAR IS BORN and THE JAZZ SINGER had earlier versions. Not sure which are best. I put up the ones I'm familiar with.

I've seen three of those movies.  Singin in the Rain, Ed Wood and Get Shorty.

You forgot "Hollywood Boulevard" (1976), and "Cecil B. Demented."  These two are infinitely better than anything on your list, in my opinion.

How about Herman Cohen's HOW to MAKE a MONSTER? Where the insane make up guy creates monsters (ie...Teenage Frankie and Wolfman) out of actors?

 Does Fulci's CAT in the BRAIN count?

 WARNING: NOT a pretty tarailer!

 A director fears he is commiting acts depicted in his films...of course they're Fulci films...so it uses lotsa old clips from his movies.
