6. Edward Scissorhands: Hollywood Backstory
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaPob-C7Z3E The 10th anniversary edition. I was so excited. It even came in a metal tin for crying out loud. A metal tin! I was prepared to sit and spend hours pouring over material that explained how one of my favorite films came to be. Imagine my shock when all I got was a five minute behind the scenes slide show and a director's commentary (a decent one at that, but still). Thankfully I've stumbled upon this Hollywood Backstory. What is Hollywood Backstory? I honestly don't know. Before recently I had never even known such a show existed. But in presentation and form it looks an awful lot like the behind the scenes show AMC used to air in the late 90's called Backstory....more on that later. Anyway this is a great little 30 minute peace that may rush a bit but does manage to cram a lot of astounding facts into its minuscule time slot (like how the film was originally written a musical). A must watch for any fans of the sharp handed one out there.

Raymond Woods is too busy watching movies to give you a decent bio. If he wasn't too busy watching movies and reading books about movies and listening to podcasts about movies, this is what he'd tell you. "I know more about film than you. Accept this as a fact and we might be able to talk."
