2. Jurassic Park

4. The Witness
Bill Genovese investigates the 1964 murder of his sister Kitty Genovese, a New York woman who was attacked while 38 people allegedly did nothing to help her. | A True Crime documentary that eschews the typical trappings of the genre, The Witness is revelatory and heartbreaking.
