Recommend some Documentaries

[jimbo118]

Just started watching the classic 'Hoop Dreams'. What do you like?

 

[MJ12]

Well what kind of Documentaries do you like?

 

[Laivasse]

Check out any Adam Curtis documentaries you can find, particularly The Trap and The Century of the Self. The last I checked you could find a lot of them on Google vids.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

Planet Earth

NASA mission archives (When we left Earth), though I don't think this is out yet

 

[FoxDie]

Bigger, Stronger, Faster is a pretty interesting documentary on steroids, and Shadow Company takes a look at PMC's in Iraq.

Can't think of any others right now.

 

[Eejit]

Anything with David Attenborough.

 

[Polaris]

"What We Still Don't Know"

 

[Kadayi]

Check out any Adam Curtis documentaries you can find, particularly The Trap and The Century of the Self. The last I checked you could find a lot of them on Google vids.

Also 'The Power of Nightmares' which is essential viewing.

Other documentaries (not by Curtis) I'd recommend are

'The end of Suburbia' (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0446320/)

and though to be taken with some degree of skeptism (and personal research on the claims):-

'America: Freedom to Fascism' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0772153/

as well as the 'Zeitgeist' movies available through Google videos.

 

[Lucid]

Woodstock.

 

[mastag]

Fog of War and Grizzly Man

 

[FoxDie]

The Corporation is a good one too.

 

[MJ12]

I hear the one about the homeless people that dress up like superheros to make money on Melrose in Hollywood is a good one, forget what it's called.

 

[Kadayi]

The Corporation is a good one too.

Agreed. I forgot about that one, but it's pretty much essential viewing if you want to begin to understand the inherent problems of unchecked capitalism.

Life of Grime.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

I hear the one about the homeless people that dress up like superheros to make money on Melrose in Hollywood is a good one, forget what it's called.

Couldn't you dress up, or not dress up, as Hancock and get way with it :bounce:
