If you're interested in how movies are made then Tales From The Script is an facinating documentary about screenwriting. Interviewing a host of successful (and not so successful writers) including Shane Black, Robert Towne, John Carpenter, Larry Cohen, John August, Mick Garris, Peter Hyams, Zak Penn, Adam Rifkin, Paul Schrader, Ron Shelton, David S Ward and Andrew W Marlow amongst others, it gives you an insight into how cutthroat the film industry actually is. From the writing itself, to the development process through to surviving in an industry with a minuscule memory span...it's a light hearted and breezy peak inside a business that is quite, quite mad.
Interesting to see Frank Darabont being realistically accepting of his Indiana Jones experience and there's a moving story from Ghost scribe Bruce Joel Rubin about the failure of his My Life project.
