If you loved The Monuments Men, try Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind has roughly 3.0× fewer votes than The Monuments Men — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by George Clooney, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Monuments Men, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is

Berlin, late fall. A ringing telephone. Game-show king Chuck Barris juggles daytime TV with a second life, offing enemies of the state per shadowy Agency directives. Is he really a hitman, or is it all in his head? Clooney's film finds room for Kaufman's mind in post-millennial Hollywood.
