　　State and Main (2000)

State and Main (2000) Trailer One of the great movies about Hollywood ever made,State and Maintells the story of a film crew that descends on a small New England town, totally disrupting life there. Theres a neurotic screenwriter who cant seem to figure out how the movie should end, a leading man who is carrying on affairs that are both inappropriate and possibly illegal, and a director trying to make it all work.

The townsfolk, meanwhile, are slowly corrupted by the Hollywood world that they are suddenly thrust into, all in the name of making great entertainment for a mass audience. State and Main features a starry cast that includes Alec Baldwin as a sexually voracious leading man and Sarah Jessica Parker as an insecure actress. The films selling point, however, is the witty screenplay by David Mamet, who clearly has some axes to grind about Hollywood filmmaking.

　　Amistad (1997)

Amistad (1997) Theatrical Trailer Often regarded as one of Steven Spielbergs least-successful movies, Amistadis much more interesting than its reputation suggests. The movie tells the story of a slave ship crossing the Atlantic in 1839. When the slaves aboard that ship lead a rebellion, they are eventually held captive in Connecticut, and their release becomes a subject of heated debate.

When a young lawyer is recruited to argue in their favor, the movie turns toward a meditation about the nature of race in America, and the readily apparent unjustness of slavery that was apparent to even those who were living through it. Throw in Anthony Hopkins in an Oscar-nominated performance as John Quincy Adams, and youve got a heck of a movie.
