Movies like Living in Oblivion

Ed Wood is Tim Burton's tribute to the eponymous underdog filmmaker, known for his comically disastrous movies. With a blend of poignancy and humor, it resonates with Living in Oblivion's affectionate portrayal of the trials and tribulations of indie filmmaking.

Those who appreciate the on-set strife and artistic eccentricities in Living in Oblivion are likely to enjoy Barton Fink. This is a Coen Brothers' film revolving around a playwright turned screenwriter experiencing Hollywood's nightmarish side.

This satirical black comedy from Robert Altman peels back the layers of Hollywood's glamorous veneer to reveal the dark underbelly of the movie business. Like Living in Oblivion, The Player exposes the film industry's egos and obsessions through a witty, insider's perspective.

Bowfinger, starring Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy, is a comedy that mocks the film industry as it tells the story of a down-and-out producer attempting to shoot a film without his lead actor's knowledge. It shares Living in Oblivion's love for the absurdity inherent in making movies.
