The Player
98
A Hollywood studio executive who may have murdered a screenwriter finds that the crime only improves his career, as he greenlights a cynical thriller suspiciously like his own situation.
Why watch: The opening shot runs eight unbroken minutes. 65 stars donated their salaries to the Motion Picture Home.
