Netflix The Movies that made us is a very interesting background on the trouble films faced in being made,
I've only just watched episode 1 now and it's about Dirty dancing it gives a real insight into the problems they had getting anyone to read the script let alone turn it into a movie, and how it was almost never made, and no one would touch it with a barge pole, Jennifer and Patrick didn't want to work together because they hated each other, only company who would touch them was vestron who knew nothing about making films, even after all the hard work the best advice they were given was to burn the negatives and cut all losses, etc etc if you like you're documentaries with some insight then they don't come much better than this.
I've looked at what the other episodes are it's only a short series,
Home alone
Ghostbusters
Die hard
I would have thought it would probably be a few more episodes stemming from different era's but they are all from the 80s.
