"The Report" on Amazon prime was the best based on a true story movie I've seen in a long time. It's the story of the investigation into the use of torture during the war on terror.
Mild spoilers of the conclusions:
Mild spoilers of the conclusions:
Torture didn't work.
Building rapport is a far more effective interrogation technique.
The people who advocated torture were paid obscene sums of money for failure.
The intelligence agencies lied and covered up everything relentlessly - completely fabricating tales of how torture actually worked, and they weren't doing serious permanent harm.

Try ‘a civil action’.
Very similar to ‘dark waters, perhaps a little more court based.
Still works very well as a ‘sort of companion piece’

The Informant! with Matt Damon was pretty funny.
Remember The Insider with Russell Crowe and Al Pacino being good, too.

Fun little biopic about Tony Wilson; TV personality and founder of Factory Records (Joy Division, New Order, Happy Mondays). Covers a lot of the Manchester music scene from the 80s - early 90s. Great performances from Steve Coogan and Andy Serkis pre-Gollum.

Argo was enjoyable enough. Not best picture deserving per se but good movie.

Watched it yesterday and liked it a lot.
I've seen it but it's been a looong time. The TV series is also excellent.

while not in the conspiracy vein, the David Lynch Disney movie is based on a true story and is wonderful
