Thin Blue Line

The stories aren't all that similar but the style is. Interview footage mixed with well done reenactments and excellent cinematography. Plus they're both very compelling and outrageous stories.

Tabloid?! What does Tabloid have to do with this doco?!

They like it better than no thing.

It's not a doc but the credulousness and Southern aspect really made me think of the film, Compliance, and the real life bizarre story that's based on

brother's keeper
paradise lost series
the movie 'Bernie' starring Jack Black is not a doco, but has elements of a doco in that it is a true story and features real accounts from real people involved amongst the written/acted material.. worth a look

The Woman Who Wasn't There.

[–] george_mase 9 years ago

Agreed. If you like The Imposter then The Woman Who Wasn't There is a must-see.

[–] ilBuono 11 years ago

Another docu that felt like watching a movie was 'Searching for sugar man'. Also a must see.
