Living in Oblivion (Tom DiCillo, 1995)
Ed Wood (Tim Burton, 1994)
Almost all of Brian DePalma's films are also (obliquely) about making movies...

White Hunter, Black Heart (1990)

A almost forgotten Eastwood film. A semi true- biography about director John Huston filming in Africa "The African Queen", and his obsession with hunting.

Sullivan's Travels may be my favorite such film, though movie-making isn't the main thrust of the film.
