Behind the scenes of the films you know.
Dallas Buyers Club won an Oscar for makeup done on a budget of $250. The 2013 film's makeup department reportedly spent just $250 in total, yet the work won the Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.
NASA reportedly screens Armageddon as a management training exercise. New managers are said to be asked to spot as many scientific and technical errors as they can in the 1998 film — counts are often put at more than 160.
The film Titanic cost far more to make than the real ship did to build. RMS Titanic was built for about $7.5 million in 1912; James Cameron's 1997 film had a production budget of around $200 million.
