The A.V. Club's "You'll lick this picture business: 27 movies about the difficulty of making movies"
"From time to time, viewers and critics accuse the Hollywood elite of being out of touch with the real world, of actually believing that there’s always a convenient parking space open in front of every building, or that even the lowliest New York City wage slave can afford to live alone in a vast, palatial-yet-funky loft apartment. Which is why it’s often fun to see movies tackling something that even the most out-of-touch filmmaker knows all about: the process of making a film. And while films about filmmaking can sometimes seem navel-gazing and self-pitying, at their best, they pull back the curtain and show how much frustration, struggle, and compromise goes into that slick finished product."
Yeah, there’s 28 entries. The original list has two number 9s.
