movies that talk about film making

[Brian Drysdale]

There's "Saving Mr Banks" about P.L. Travers and Disney going head to head over "Mary Poppins" as he attempts to get the film rights.

I do recall one scene in The Exorcist where a movie was being filmed.

[Jon O'Brien]

One of the Godfather films. 'The Godfather Part II' maybe, towards the start. One of the wives is an aspiring actress and I think a 35mm camera is brought along to film a wedding reception or something similar. That's if I recall the scene correctly. Haven't seen the movie for a long time.

Also, 'The Chine Syndrome' features a young Michael Douglas as a 16mm news/documentary cameraman. The camera is stuck to his shoulder for many of his scenes I seem to recall.

A CP-16R, IIRC.

I've got a few of them...in the film Archive. But they are not Hollywood productions. They are 16mm reels on how to shoot film or make movies. Some of them are how filmmaking was done for the nightly news. Others are on editing. I will have to find them to get the names. I've only been able to inventory about 55% of the film Archive so far. I still have maybe 1,600 reels to do.

Here is one I have to scan called 'Constructing Reality...A Film on Filmmaking.'  When / if I evet get a scanner, I will put it and the others online.

I also like films about projection...anything about filmmaking from back in the day interests me. I had 3+ feet of old American Cinematographer mags. Sadly, most of them got rained on from a leaky roof in the storage unit and were ruined. I was able to save a few inches of them, but I have not scanned as yet. There was lots of interesting time capsule film related material in them. Maybe 1970s or 1980s vintage. Too bad.

I didn't scan these. I bought them all on a DVD for $6 from a film collector and broke them down. My favorite way to acquire historical material is high quality scans for cheap. But I seldom find anything like that. In my case I usually have to buy the material and make the scans myself. In any case, these projection films are very hard to get and pricey if they do come up for sale. So, I am happy with low-res...instead of no-res.
