- 1992– 15m5.2 (94)TV EpisodeA very basic look at the creation of the film What Lies Beneath (2000) that delves more into the film's director, Robert Zemeckis, than the movie itself.

A look at the film's 'Hitchcock-esque' direction is also brought to our attention, to show how this thriller was pulled off.
- Director Christopher Nolan conducts an interview with legendary actor Al Pacino. The title limits what is done here, since Pacino probably asks Nolan more questions than Nolan asks Pacino. Most of the interview, that takes place in a hotel room, is centered around the film Insomnia (2002) in which both individuals were involved.
- This documentary follows director Brett Ratner through nearly every stage of production for the film Red Dragon (2002). This is a very informative and fun to watch piece that shows you how hard it is to direct a motion picture. Michael Jackson even makes a pointless appearance on the set and leads to a couple of funny instances. This title shows both the gruelling and fun aspects of making a movie.
- A totally pointless promotion for the film 'Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995)' that includes some of the worst and unexplainable cameos from various people that were probably being interviewed by Fox for something else. This does show some little bits of information on the film and also features a preview of the train station scene.
- Since the film JFK (1991) was made, many new documents have been released and examined.

We are also treated to re-shoot footage and finally the film's premiere at various locations.
- A promotional making-of that aired on Fox in 1995 for the film 'Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995)'. We go along with our host, Reginald Vel Johnson and tour the lot where part of the film was made. Features clips and behind the scenes footage of the film, but not too much.
- Several aspects of Ridley Scott's masterpiece Hannibal (2001) are examined through interviews with the cast and crew, and behind the scenes footage.

- The making of Die Hard 2.
- Stories of how the film Evil Dead, The (1981) rose up very high against the accusations of the 'Video Nasties' of the 1980's in the UK. Many controversial films are referenced here to give us an example of how Evil Dead, The (1981) didn't belong in the garbage bin, and how it was very original for its genre.

- We open with stories of one man's brilliant idea to remake the science fiction classic, _Fly, The (1958)_, into a whole new entity. The end result was David Cronenberg's _Fly, The (1986)_ that revolutionized the genre. Nearly every aspect of the filmmaking process is covered in this mammoth documentary, and in great detail. Sadly, the only thing missing here are some new interviews with Cronenberg himself.
- For Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002), there were to be many more visual effects than in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999).

- Plenty of cast & crew interviews mixed in with on-set footage, the complete uncut car chase and a couple of trailers inform us on how this film was made and subsequently released.

We also learn how difficult it can be working on such a huge project with director Oliver Stone at the helm.

- Yet another making of documentary much like 'Pacte des loups - les coulisses du tournage, Le (2001) (TV)'.

- A promotional making-of documentary for the film Matrix, The (1999) that devotes its time to explaining the digital and practical effects contained in the film.
