Wait, are we done with phrasing?
I'd have to go with Warden Norton. At least Owsley has zingers that make the son of a bitch enjoyable.

The first Errol Morris film I saw was The Fog of War in my history class and remember being figuratively blown away. I cannot remember any documentarian who was able to have his subjects open up without them even realizing. One of my other favorites was the First Person episode with the mob lawyer who is so blunt…
I know I was! Thank you again roger ebert. You are still missed.
