Some Folks Call It a Sling Blade

  (1993)
The short film that inspired the Oscar-winning feature takes a controversial look inside the mind of mentally challenged murderer Karl Childers. Shot in stark black-and-white, the movie stars Billy Bob Thornton as Childers and Molly Ringwald as the reporter who interviews him on the day of his release from an insane asylum.
