   When they announced that The Movies That Made Us would follow Toys, I was disappointed. I mean, what would I get from this that I couldn't from DVD extras? Three seasons later (including a longer third that goes out of its way to do Halloween and Christmas movies in time for those holidays), I finally decided to pull the trigger. What saves it from "just another making of" syndrome is it favors the very front end of pre-production. How did it come about, what was the original script like, how did it get green-lit, and what almost stopped it from making it to the silver screen? These are interesting stories on their own that don't get a whole lot of play in traditional making ofs. And yes, there are on-set stories, and we get to how the film was received, and so on. But the choice of films is pretty smart too, because while we can agree these are all "films that made us" (i.e. big/cult hits that everyone knows about, whether they've seen them or not), they are also Hollywood nightmares with plenty of "tell-all" potential. No smooth productions here. But of course, if you were irritated by The Toys That Made Us' irreverent mocking tone, that style still prevails, so... 2 years 4 months ago

   Earring72s comment is a bit old now, as the series have gone on through more seasons. The voice actor is still the same. The narrator and the whole editing tries to be funny, it doesn't always work. But it's nice to get some behind the scene of popular culture bluckbusters. 2 years 12 months ago
