Movies-seivoM, the Self-Referential Movies Mailing List, recommends
and discusses movies that "break the 4th wall" and display a
more-overt- than-usual awareness of themselves as movies. Movies
about Hollywood, movies where someone appears "as himself,"
movies-within-movies, movies that play with genre conventions or
comment on the phenomenon of stardom, are all fertile territory.
We're particularly interested in older movies, cartoons, silent
films, foreign films, shorts and documentaries, and how this kind of
recursion showed up in anecdotes, still photographs, fan magazines,
etc.
We hope for thoughtful brief essays rather than scattershot
references. Please avoid Mel Brooks movies unless you have some
stunning insights.
