_Bob Roberts_ (1992)
_Day for Night_ (1973)
_Deathwatch_ (1980); Tavernier film starring Harvey Keitel as man with
surgically implanted camera assigned to "cover" story of terminally ill
patient.
Godard's _Contempt_ (1963)
Fellini's _8 1/2_ (1963)
Sunset Boulevard (1950)
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1990)--a somewhat warped suggestion
Demon-Lover Diary
Diary of David Holzman (1968)
I'm sure there's more, but I'm all idea'd out.
