Double Jeopardy (1955)
Lawyer Marc Hill helps clear the name of his girlfriend's father who is accused of murdering a man that was blackmailing him.
Standard but effective crime drama with quite a far-fetched finale.

Experimental psycho-drama may irritate with its splitscreen and multi-fractured narrative, but fascinates with its audacity and Page's excellent performance.
Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)

Exceptionally well-produced biography gives an accurate and also quite personal portrait of a truly remarkable woman and judge.
Boy Interrupted (2009)
A look at the life of Evan Perry a 15-year-old boy from New York who committed suicide in 2005.
Heartfelt, but also unsettling documentary doesn't come up with answers, but draws an adequate, inside picture of the family's and the boy's struggle with mental illness.
