Very nice and good documentary series about various Hollywood classics. Definitely recommended for real movie fans. Too bad there are only 6 eps so far and that many crew members have their say, but not the big names themselves (such as Tim Burton, Bruce Willis, Bill Murray, Will Ferrell, etc etc.) Despite that, anyway very interesting.

Totally agree with Renzoroy. More episodes have now been published and big names are certainly participating here and there. For example, I have seen John Landis, Dan Aykroyd and Sigourney Weaver. As a film lover, I knew what was going on on the set of a number of films, I have some books about it, and that comes across very well in this series. When you see this, it's amazing for some films that they ended up being made at all. Studios that interfere with all kinds of things, deadlines that are set extremely tight, budgets that are far too tight as standard and actors who are not to their liking and are sometimes replaced even though filming has already taken place. For example, Eric Stolz initially had the role of Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future and Michael Biehn was not initially in Aliens. There is also quite a lot of attention paid to the effects, which were still completely practical in many of these older films because CGI was still in its infancy. Tom Savini has a nice interview about Friday the 13th, for example, and Rob Bottin and (employees of) Stan Winston also appear in various episodes. The only downside I personally thought was that it was presented in a very funny way here and there. Sometimes a bit too funny. Anyway, that's all and I've gotten used to it. The conclusion is that it is a series chock full of fun film facts and highly recommended for film enthusiasts.
