I watch a lot of movies and I would love to know more about filmmaking, what are some of the best resources (books, educational videos, sites, online communities....) to gradually learn all the jargon and techniques? Maybe even become an amateur director?

I wish /tv/ had a sticky on where to find the board's subject-related documentation like /ic/ does.

Not really. Youtube channel Every Frame A Painting sometimes discusses shot composition and use of colour.

You could try Nerdwriter but it's mostly pretentious low-calorie time filler.
Cinematography Database is a lone gook dissecting cameras and lighting in feature films, along with nerdgasms over hardware.

For tv production, the most thorough books I've seen that weren't actual textbooks were 'The Making Of Star Trekk Deep Space Nine' by Garfield and Judith Reeves-Stevens and 'A Vision Of The Future: Star Trek Voyager" by Stephen Edward Poe. Yes, they're both Star Trek but these aren't bullshit fan books. Both include production memos, detailed interviews and time spent on both sets and in production meetings. The DS9 book in particular is exhaustive.

For film production, you could try director biographies. There are also the Lord of the Rings films' Appendices on the extended DVDs and blu-rays. There should be at least one doc on Youtube about the making of Jaws. The Revenge of the Sith special features include a look at most of the production pipeline.
