Yale University, 1961. Stanley Milgram (Peter Sarsgaard) designs a psychology experiment that remains relevant to this day, in which people think they're delivering painful electric shocks to an affable stranger (Jim Gaffigan) strapped into a chair in another room. Disregarding his pleas for mercy, the majority of subjects do not stop the experiment, administering what they think are near-fatal electric shocks, simply because they've been told to. With Nazi Adolf Eichmann's trial airing in living rooms across America, Milgram's exploration of authority and conformity strikes a nerve in popular culture and the scientific community. Celebrated in some circles, he is also accused of being a deceptive, manipulative monster. His wife Sasha (Winona Ryder) anchors him through it all.

Movie: Jimi Hendrix (1973)

Movie: Jimi Hendrix

105 minutes

The cast list is a who's who of the music scene at the time Jimi Hendrix was making his mark. This documentary has the freshness of being made relatively close to his death, but lacks the longer perspective of time. It isn't a weakness when the people appearing in it include Mick Jagger, Lou Reed and Pete Townsend. It covers the period between 1967 - The Marquee, including Monterey, Woodstock, Fillmore East and Berkeley to 1970 at the Isle of Wight Festival. A must see for Hendrix buffs.

Directed by Joe Boyd. Al Hendrix, Germaine Greer, Frankie Crocker, Eric Clapton, Arthur Allen, Albert Allen
