What movie/TV show/film attracted or interested you to taking film seriously and appreciatively?
In other words what was the first movie that marveled you into wanting to know more about the film industry and how film is made?
My spark had to be when I watched the "Appendices" or the Special Extra features of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies. The depth of material, information and teamwork that went into making these landmarks in film astound and amazed me. To give you an idea of the total time of the extras in the Appendices, both the trilogies actual run time (about 20 hours) is about 10 times shorter than the extra disc which are all about the film-making process and even this is in a sense a summary.
Watching this (which took two weeks of semi-all-nighters) made me really begin to appreciate the 6-10 minutes the credit reels tend to take these days.
Also a very helpful website for movie lovers is IMDb standing for International Movie Database
Here is the link: http://www.imdb.com/
The website is basically a catalog for every film that is known to exist, besides personal videos, of course.
And here is a clip inside the filming of The Hobbit which can also be found on The Hobbit Blog:
