But I don't think they rent. If you're not showing them already, try to get the Frederick Wiseman films -- HIGH SCHOOL is a classic, also TITTICUT FOLLIES, cinema verite in a mental hospital. I saw a very good film on PBS a few years ago called SALESMAN that they called "the first example of cinema verite," from the early '60s. For non-verite, BROTHER'S KEEPER is interesting, controversial & accessible.
