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.
Fine Line Features DVD releases were split between HBO Video and New Line Home Entertainment . When New Line Home Entertainment ceased to exist in 2010, it was folded into Warner Home Video .
