Opération lune (2002)
This hard-hitting mockumentary exposes how Stanley Kubrick faked the 1969 moon landing, with seeming-endorsements from many key players in NASA and the US government.
Mildly amusing mockumentary for those in the know, but in an age of conspiracy theories (and some actually believe NASA and Kubrick staged the moon landing) and doubts about media's honesty a quite dubious attempt.

The Killing (1956)
Crooks plan and execute a daring race-track robbery.
Tough noir-style heist drama, meticulously directed with an unusual time structure and a first-rate cast.
On rewatching: perfect noir thriller, every view you find new details.
Halliwell**: "Incisive, entertaining, downbeat caper movie clearly influenced by The Asphalt Jungle and Rififi."
Maltin***1/2: "The film that really put Kubrick on the map - a case study of a racetrack heist, with a colorful cast of characters...Major flaw: the Dragnet-style narration."
