The Thin Blue Line https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/69/The_Thin_Blue_Line_poster.jpg Dir: Errol Morris Genre: Documentary, Crime Year: 1988 Errol Morris is probably the greatest director you've never heard of, unless you happen to like documentaries. Everything he touches is stellar--well-researched, legitimately unbiased, and always moving. The Thin Blue Line is no exception. Before Serial, Making a Murderer, Paradise Lost, or any of your other favorite true crime series, there was The Thin Blue Line. Backed by one of the best scores in any movie ever by Philip Glass, it was the first mainstream film to show the world how engaging a true crime documentary could be. It hits all the marks: easy-to-digest recreations, introducing new evidence, capturing people committing perjury. It's no coincidence that it actually helped ~~overturn the conviction of its subject~~. Even with the true crime documentary genre exploding in recent years, nothing on film has ever been as good as this one. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso <cite>Nelson_Mandela posted [p:922782579] in Presenting...
