The filmmaking industry is complicated, and making movies is hard, which makes movies about filmmaking often intense experiences. The first movie shown to the public was in 1895 , and this new technology enraptured the public. Directors became magicians, actors became celebrities, and movies became touchstone events.

However, when looking at movies about filmmaking over the years , it is often the dark side that the films shine a light on. Some of the releases still instill a sense of wonder as magic is made on the big screen, but when films pull back the curtain , it is never as glamorous as one might believe.
