Kevin Macdonald’s Oscar-winning documentary about the 1972 Munich Massacre, One Day in September, marks its 25th anniversary this year. “When I was a kid my father used to say our greatest hopes and our worst fears are seldom realized.

The Oscar-nominated Fatal Attraction was recently released in April through the Paramount Presents line of remastered Blu-rays.
