15. The Case Against 8

Having already inspired an award-winning HBO documentary of the same name, the story of the court case to overturn California's same-sex marriage ban was supposed to get the feature treatment thanks to writer/director Marielle Heller.

Given that she made Can You Ever Forgive Me and is pretty much guaranteed more awards attention with A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood later this year, her take on that important story could have been phenomenal.

The original documentary told the story of the legal fight to stop Proposition 8, centring on attorneys Ted Olsen and David Boies, who put aside political differences to defend the couples who took Prop 8 to court in this landmark civil rights battle. At least there's a documentary that you absolutely need to see, but the loss of the film is a tragedy.
