It's really too bad that Lords of Salem didn't have this. Would've loved to have seen that.....Even better, a House of 1,000 Corpses documentary could be more fascinating. I'm really surprised there hasn't been one for that movie yet. That could probably give "The Battle of Brazil" a run for it's money!

But House of a 1,000 Corpses has a different story to tell. You always hear about completed movies that end up being shelved. But a completed movie that bounces from studio to studio is something rare. I'd love to hear the entire story about that.

Any Ridley Scott film documentary by Charles de Lauzirika. His documentary on Prometheus is better than Prometheus. His doc on Blade Runner is a fucking work of art.

Waaah? This is the first I'm hearing about this. Is it available unedited somewhere? I could easily watch six hours of footage from the Hellraiser and Hellraiser II sets.

The Battle For Brazil -- not so much a making of but a WTF happened afterward. Absolutely amazing. The book of course is even better, but it's fantastic. The fact that there's actual Sid Shinebox audio on that thing is amazing.

My favorites have to be:
12 Monkeys: The Hampster Factor - as mentioned, going into the marketing of the film is something rarely seen in the docs.
Jaws: The Shark is Still Working - just amazing all around.
The Pixar Story - not specific to a single film, but a pretty entertaining and comprehensive look at Pixar.
Honorable Mention(since it's television):
Journeys Below the Line: 24 - The Editing Process - It's pretty brief at thirty minutes, but a very tightly packed doc about making 24 with Kiefer Sutherland. Highly recommended.

That Leviathan is too much. I only watched about an hour and a half of the first one before going to bed one evening, haven't gotten back to it yet. It is overly redundant. They ask everybody involved the same question, they show all of there responses, uncut. It drags so much it seams that way. Then it is on to the second question. Rinse, repeat. It seriously needs some editing. I hope the edits on the Crimson Box aren't over edited though. We will see.

Crystal Lake Memories for me. Just a bunch of fun to watch even if it is really long. I love the franchise and the documentary did it justice.
