In the 4th round, Direct2Video selects United 93 in the Documentary/Non-fiction category.
This was a very, very emotional movie. I watched it for the first time earlier this year, and I was not disappointed by it. The cast is all of relative unknowns and actual United/FAA employees. Seeing the events of that day unfold from the perspective of the people in the air traffic control centres was eerie. This is one movie where you know what's going to happen next, and you hope against all hope that maybe, this time, it'll be different. But it's not. This quote from James Berardinelli really summed the film up for me:

United 93 ends with a view out the cockpit window of the onrushing ground, then blackness. Viewers may be mid-way through the closing credits before they have recovered enough to move from their seats.
