Fine Line Features (often spelt as
FineLine Features) was the specialty films division of
New Line Cinema. From 1990–1995, under founder and president
Ira Deutchman, Fine Line acquired, distributed and marketed films of a more "
indie" flavor than its parent company, including such critically acclaimed films as
Hoop Dreams,
The Player,
Short Cuts,
Night on Earth,
Spanking the Monkey,
Shine,
My Own Private Idaho,
Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and
Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle. In 2005, New Line teamed up with fellow
Time Warner subsidiary
HBO to form
Picturehouse, a new specialty film label of which Fine Line was folded into.
