Grey Gardens (Criterion Collection)

For more than twenty years, no one had entered weed-strangled Grey Gardens-until documentarians David and Albert Maysles arrived with their camera. The result is a controversial portrait of the haunting relationship between Edith Bouvier Beale and her grown daughter, Little Edie. The aunt and first cousin of Jackie Onassis, these two endearing recluses feed their cats and raccoons, and rehash their pasts behind the walls of their decaying East Hampton mansion. (1976) Running time: 94minutes.
