Movie Log #35-36
The Thin Blue Line, which is not the Rowan Atkinson Britcom or a long wankish Terence Malick war film, but rather the Errol Morris documentary. Very good but a bit anticlimactic now that the case is discusses are resolved. Compare with the Paradise Lost documentaries, where the cases sit like open sores.

Room at the Top - the 1959 British drama, not the flight-attendant comedy. It's funny that Laurence Harvey's most famous role is one where his war buddies all hate him but have been brainwashed into calling him "the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being [they've] ever known.." He apparently used this part as a training mission, where he's a thoroughly unlikable male golddigger after the town heiress. It played like a British A Place In The Sun.
