A Cry in the Dark by the DVD Man

Known as Evil Angels in Australia, A Cry in the Dark, is mostly known for Meryl Streep saying: "The dingo ate my baby!". Another case of a mistaken quote - she says: "The dingo took my baby!".

She also was nominated for an Oscar as Best Actress. It's kind of long at 122 minutes, but it is an 1980's version of the media circus and massive public frenzy and I kept thinking about how it would be played these days if it was like that back in 1980-1988 when the real story took place.

They had a bunch of bad forensic tests back then and after watching all the different CSI's and knowing about DNA, this couldn't happen any more.
