Movies that feel like Real Life (1979)
A pushy, narcissistic filmmaker persuades a Phoenix family to let him and his crew film their everyday lives, in the manner of the ground-breaking PBS series "An American Family".
If you loved Real Life, the closest films we have are Lost in America (1985), Used Cars (1980) and Clockwise (1986). All three share Real Life's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Genevieve (1953).
