The Prince and the Showgirl (1957) I saw it after I saw 'My Week'. It isn't very good.

I saw them in reversal order, I watched The Prince and the Showgirl before My Week With Marilyn. It gave me a better appreciation of Branagh's performance.

I forgot to ask: Real existing movies only or fictional movies allowed?

Only real... there have bien many films about fictional films and certainly a poll about them:)

I just saw your previous suggestions, maybe I'll make a two-parter out of this idea but I'm pretty sure there's already been a poll about "movies about filmmaking"... if not, I wouldn't mind suggesting it :)

Exactly but that gave me an idea for an interesting Face-Off suggestion.

FYC: Irma Vep (1996) - shows the filming of French silent serial Les Vampires RKO 281 (1999) - Shows the filming of Citizen Kane Harishchandrachi Factory (2009) - about Raja Harishchandra which appears to be the first Indian feature film. Kabloonak (1994) - About Nanook of the North Frtiz Lang (2016) - Looking at the synopsis I'm not sure how much it deals with M

Are you sure Irma Vep shows the filming of the silent film? It seems to be mostly about the making of a fictional remake.

I just removed it, I read the film's summary, it's not the actual film but a remake (so I guess it's a fictionalization based on real events)

@Tsarstepan  I'm glad that you liked Eddie Murphy's "Dolemite", sadly overlooked by the Academy.
