#2. Their Finest (2016)

Storyline: During the London Blitz of World War II, Catrin Cole is recruited by the British Ministry of Information to write scripts for propaganda films that the public will actually watch without scoffing. In the line of her new duties, Cole investigates the story of two young women who supposedly piloted a boat in the Dunkirk Evacuation. Although it proved a complete misapprehension, the story becomes the basis for a fictional film with some possible appeal. As Cole labors to write the script with her new colleagues such as Tom Buckley, veteran actor Ambrose Hilliard must accept that his days as a leading man are over as he joins the project. Together, this disparate trio must struggle against such complications such as sexism against Cole, jealous relatives, and political interference in their artistic decisions even as London endures the bombs of the enemy. In the face of those challenges, they share a hope to contribute something meaningful in this time of war and in their own lives.

#6. Overnight Sensation (2000)

Storyline: Why doesn't Jerry Springer make movies. They would be better than this turkey.OH, he did make a movie and someone made a musical...I'd rather watch those than this tripe.This movie TRIES so hard to be hip and funny. But it is NOT. The script falls flatter ten a pancake. They did show the ending script page from Citizen Kane and the word Rosebud on the script page. This is the best part of the movie...THE END.Go rent Road to Sundance (aka R2SD), made about the same time. This movie is a very funny tongue in cheek look at making films. It is from NYC so it had a lot more style and verve. Overnight Sensation seems financed out of Beverly Hill money from the "son" a producer and a chance to make a "movie". Seems there was a plethora of films about going to Sundance. Guess no one had ideas about an original script. Hollywood is really going to have to be careful to whom they rent those Panavision cameras.
