The BBC just showed a 10 year later follow up to The Staircase.

Death on the Staircase: The Last Chance

I didn't actually see the original, but found this really good and perfectly accessible to those who haven't heard of the case.

From a quick look at IMDB its the same guy, it looks like it will be shown in March on the Sundance Channel, dunno if thats easily getable in the states.

I'm on a mad crazy movie-documentary kick. Making-ofs or history of directors or writers.

Anybody got any good ones to recommend?

Lost In La Mancha and Audience of One are good documentaries about very ambitious movies that eventually never got made. The first mainly due to bad luck, the second due to batshit crazyness. Dont be put off by the subject matter of Audience of One, the original movie was meant to be a science fiction epic that rivaled Dune.

Oh, also American Movie is pretty good in the same vein, but not as epic.
