I think there is an Errol Morris box set out. I think THIN BLUE LINE =
is the best in the last 20 years.
Loved MURDER ON A SUNDAY but have seen very few in the last 5 years
Two best ones from Kino are probably EAST SIDE STORY & WONDERFUL =
HORRIBLE
LIFE OF LENI REIFENSTAHL but neither would be top 50 of all time
Anyway lots of good docs out there
Ok. We already own the last three you mentioned, any suggestions.
