Documentaries

Off Topic

I did a search, and couldn’t find a thread for documentaries, and we need one. I have a small addiction for anything from BBC Life, to Pratchett’s choosing to die.

I really enjoy good documentaries. Biograpical, science, religion, sociology, nature, science. I find that once you watch a couple of really good ones, all you want is more! i use TED.com topdocumentaryfilms.com, and download or buy the ones that are not to be found there.

So whats your favorites? I am sure i am forgetting some big ones, but here is a list of some that i love, and some that enrage me.

Senna
Sugar, the bitter truth
Bigger stronger Faster

Man do I love documentaries.

What I really hate though are documentaries that are made terribly, like the Bill Hicks doc listed in the OP.

An interesting one I’ve watched recently is “Surf Wise” about the surfing Pascowitz family. Fascinating Doc.

Probably my favorite of late has been “It Might Get Loud,” the doc about The Edge, Jimmy Paige, and Jack White. Great Great Great.

The Joy of statistics was a good one. It went into both some of the history + practical application of stats…mmmmmmmm…STATS!!!

Also: The street that cut everythinhg was quite amusing.

This one is from Terry Pratchett. It is good, it is important, but also very difficult to watch.
