From Irma Vep to Singin’ in the Rain, these are the best comedy movies about film production, ranked.
It’s often said that the best authors simply “write what they know,” and the same could be said of great filmmakers. There’s so much chaos, last-minute planning, controversy, and paranoia that occurs on a movie set that it’s enjoyable to look back at a critical production and laugh at the mistakes that were made.
‘Get Shorty’ Get Shorty is the perfect mix of Hollywood satire, genuine intrigue, and legitimate suspense; it’s a well-rounded crime caper that gets in more than a few great jabs at Hollywood and its studio politics. ‘Me and Earl and the Dying Girl’ Great cinema has the power to heal, and Me and Earl and the Dying Girl explores how the creative process of putting together a film can inspire young artists to express themselves.
Tim Burton’s 1994 film Ed Wood served as a loving tribute to the passion that drove Wood, and how it took genuine inspiration to create some of the worst movies ever made. Set during three stressful days on the set of a low-budget feature, Living in Oblivion stars Steve Buscemi as a perpetually stressed-out filmmaker who must deal with temperamental actors, a dysfunctional camera, changing continuity, and an obnoxious crew that can’t wait to pick up their paychecks. It’s the type of film that makes any director laugh and cringe in equal measure.
‘The Player’ Robert Altman worked for decades to perfect his craft, and his 1992 dark comedy, The Player encapsulates all of his wisdom, cynicism, and knowledge of the way that Hollywood really works. Tim Robbins gives one of the best performances of his career as the cynical studio executive Griffin Mill, an obsessive film fan who becomes obsessed with a murderous letter he received from an angry writer whose pitch he had rejected.
