Weekly Netflix thread

For Tuesday: American Movie.

For years I've been hearing about this. This film has been entrenched in No Man's Land in my queue for months (spots 21-30) and it wasn't until recently that it worked its way all the way to the top. I love a good documentary, and this looks like a surefire winner.

In this documentary that won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, director Chris Smith chronicles aspiring filmmaker Mark Borchardt's battle to finish his horror flick Coven despite a lack of just about everything, including money and common sense. Over the course of three years, Smith follows Borchardt's dogged quest, lending encouragement and cash to a motley crew that includes Borchardt's friends, his Uncle Bill and local theater "talent."
