Guess this was too difficult.

I'll quote it now in case you missed it the first time and I'll give the answer later on.

Solution:

Here is a top notch documentary that kinda felt like a movie with twists and turns.

The trailers dont really do the doc justice.
This review from an idmb user is spot on .

There's little intriguing about The Overnighters' premise. It's director Jesse Moss' execution that makes it much more compelling than it ought to be. Conflict is around every turn, both external and internal, and the documentary is constantly batting back and forth the balance in its moral dilemma. Both sides to its argument are equally strong - the good in helping those in need and the anxiety about the trouble some may bring, and few have already. Either way, it doesn't sit comfortably. Moss has a brilliant energy to the film and although it feels slightly orchestrated, in the way that he captures confrontations at the right time and ferocity without missing any key examples, he has a great taste for cinematic conflict. They really work, and they must feed into some kind of reality at least. What makes it such a rich film is that amongst the chaos, it centres around a character study of Jay Reinke. He's selfless, but narcissistic. While many may find him repelling, he's the dark heart of the film. It's a fascinating piece that's deeply flawed and human, never holding back the ugly side or shoving it in your face. One of the best documentaries of the year.

Great film, only revisited a few months back & hadn't seen since I was a kid, very clever little film & will totally second your rec.

like something out of a Tom Robbin's novel, i present to you

1986
directed by Robert Harmon and starring Rutger Hauer, Jennifer Jason Leigh, C. Thomas Howell, and Jeffrey DeMunn

teenage me remembers this as one of the first horror movies that struck me as being totally plausible, increasing the horror factor x100.

one more then i'm done for now.

1987
the autobiography of Robert Downey Jr.

I remember watching that trailer to Rubber and being excited for it, just to find it shockingly boring.

I'm actually a fan of trash or "bad" B movie cinema but I gotta say, Manos was a genuine chore to sit through for me & I've no desire to revisit.

You might be interested in Fallen Angels (1995), based on your list or for those into something a bit more arty/offbeat, it's an interesting & unusual little Hong Kong film

for the sake of folks that may not be familiar, i'm going to temporarily ignore the 50k IMDB vote limit to nominate these two masterpieces directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro that have a few more votes.

I'm sure many of you are familiar with Jeunet from directing (and co-writing with Guillaume Laurant) the masterpiece Amélie, but 6 years before Amélie was La cité des enfants perdus




and 4 years before Jeunet and Caro directed

Fallen Angels is great, especially the ending with "Only You" playing on the soundtrack.

Yeah I found the ending sequence surprisingly poignant. Haven't actually seen since the late 90s & have found it on YT with subs so intend to revisit.

Falling Angels one of my all time favorites.
