Best/Worst Making-Of Documentaries

[kotte]

Best

That Moment
Because it just kept going.
And since PTA is one of my favourite filmmakers.

21 Grams: In fragments
Because it made me cry.
It's basically a pretty standard featurette but it's what Alejandro says. The poetic touch. His feelings about love and life and death are much like mine.
The thought of the eternity we spend after life makes me mad. To never again see the beautiful things that makes up life.
How life is a painful painful journey but at the end a very beautiful one.
When it ended I was crying.

Heart of Darkness
Documentaries when you really get inside the head and mind of a filmmaker are rare...which makes this one so incredible.
Seeing footage of his son who later died is sad.
I'd be willing to send this to anyone who wants via MSN or ICQ. PM me.

Dogville Confessions
Like HOD, you get inside the thinking of the filmmaker. There are a few really unforgettable moments:
- Kidman crying in Von Triers arms.
- Bettany's argument with Von Trier.


Worst

Not sure. Wanna mention thousands featurettes we get on DVDs...but they're just that, featurettes, not documentaries.

[Just Withnail]

this is just being picky but i hate how on spielberghs dvds of late, he breaks down eveything into featurettes   , why not lump it all together

Isn't there usually a Play All feature?

The one from Northfork is really good

[cowboykurtis]

the docs on the thx1138 disc are pretty damn good

[Thrindle]

The Lost in Translation one sort of sucked because of it's lack of Scarlet.

An intimate portrait of the art of background driving by Lance Bangs

[Ghostboy]

I like that Lance Bangs fellow.

I forgot to mention the doc on 'Do The Right Thing,' which is pretty extensive and fantastic.

[ᾦɐļᵲʊʂ]

I was just about to note the DTRT documentary.

Eternal Sunshine also had a nice doc with it.

You think?

I thought the featurette pretty much sucked. They said some good stuff in the Conversation though...

Region 2 released a special edition of 21 Grams?

That's what I was thinking of, the Doc wasn't horrible, but the converstaion was better.

You get more feeling for Jim Carrey, the person as opposed to the celebrity.

I agree. And they sort-of unlock the mystery of Pecan Pie.





Kind of...

[kotte]

Yeah...what the hell was that?? It's not like it made it into the movie.


I know it's a short but is it released somewhere?
