I'm very partial to THE PLAYER, although ENTROPY is another woefully ignored Phil Joanou film.

Not one movie is the best about making movies, in has many forms, par example:

8 1/2
Peeping Tom
The Bad and The Beautiful (and maybe Two Weeks In Another Town)

And no list would be complete without:
LE MEPRIS

Day For Night by Truffaut. the daddy of movies about filmmaking.

Lost in La Mancha without a doubt

Answer... None. Sunset Blvd. and Sullivan's Travels would get my vote.

Its a tough from the ones on the list (and ones like Cecil B Demented that aren't), but I will have to go with Living In Oblivion.

One I haven't seen yet, but worth mentioning-
"State & Main", about a film company that causes trouble when they film in small town Maine.

That's a good film. It's a bit similar to Alan Alda's SWEET LIBERTY, which I mentioned in the poll.

excellent choice. I love the scene where Jackson and co. are slashing their way through the jungle and when Leonard Maltin compares the "Candid Camera"-esque footage to Rodney King.

Nobody can fuck with Buscemi and Dinklage. NOBODY!

They need to make a movie together again.

I haven't seen The Bad & The Beautiful; how is it? I have my sights set on watching it this year, once I begin delving into Minelli's work.

It's been a while since I've seen it, but I seem to remember thinking S.O.B. as being pretty good reflexive cinema.
