Movies that feel like Overnight (2003)
Alternately hilarious and horrifying, Overnight chronicles one man's misadventures of making a Hollywood movie. It starts out as a rags to riches story as Troy Duffy, a Boston-bred bartender, sells his first screenplay for The Boondock Saints.
If you loved Overnight, the closest films we have are Riding Giants (2004), We Live in Public (2009) and Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr. (1999). All three share Overnight's contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Dog (2013).

Both lean on stillness more than on documentary
Documentary built on stillness, twice over
Contemplative documentary in both cases
Both play documentary straight
Documentary of the same temperament
Cut from the same documentary cloth
Both know what they want from documentary
Both are documentary through and through
The documentary is handled with the same confidence
Sits closer to drama than Overnight does
The same documentary instincts
Both working the same documentary territory
Documentary approached the same way
