There’s a really lovely film about American spelling bees that came out in the early noughties called Spellbound (I think). Haven’t seen it in anywhere lately but worth a search.
Also, one, I can’t remember the name of but someone else might, about a French primary school teacher. It has subtitles but it is one of the most poignant films I’ve ever watched.
On a different note Metallica: some kind of monster is amazing, weird, and funny.
True crime recs which have been mentioned but are worth repeating; making a murderer and don’t fuck with cats.
