I'm a sucker for documentaries and love watching a good one more than any other genre of movie. I've seen some of Michael Moore's stuff and that was okay. I've seen Food Inc., The Corporation, and Walmart: The High Cost of the Low Price. They were all good. Just looking for some more.

 

What good one have you guys seen?

Gashole

 

 

Revenge of the Electric Car

 

 

Check out Ken Burns. I watched the War which was about WWII. Also did a great documentary on the civil war. You can probably get both at the local library or netflix.

_{Trekkies...LOL!}

Go to the theater and see '2016: Obama's America'

Then come back and let's talk about it.

 

All of you

2nd that, this explained some behaviors that I couldn't understand. It fills in a lot of blanks on BHO.

If you like craft beer then Beerwars is pretty good, available on Netflix.

Project Azureus or something like that. Its about the raising of a Russian Nuclear sub that disappeared in the south pacific, and the engineering behind the equipment used.

 

I don't usually like documentaries, but this was a really good one.

I'd recommend "Man on Wire" which is about the guy who tightrope walked at the top of the Twin Towers back in 1974. Goes from their planning to execution to what happened afterwards. More interesting that you might think...

 

Also worth a look is "Restrepo" in which some embedded journalists (one of whom is Sebastian Junger who wrote the book, A Perfect Storm, from which the movie was based on) follows a platoon deployed to the Korengal valley in the Hellmand province of Afganistan.

"This Film is Not Yet Rated" was good. "Gasland" "Windfall" +1 "Restrepo."

 

If you want the Dutch version of Restrepo, go with "Armadillo." "Super Size Me" as also very good.

Well, search youtube for ufo documentaries (they are fun to watch)

 

Nat'l Geographic has so e good one's like Hitler's Stealth Bomber the Horten something ..... Very interesting, that one.

 

That's why I love youtube, plus the recommended vids will take you to new places. Of course firearms documentaries tickle the fancy of some of those on this site.

+1 Everything Ken Burns does is factual, personal and perfectly produced. Also, if you are a Jazz fan/historian. His CD's are a walk through America's music invention.

+1 on "This Film is not yet Rated"

Senna

 

About Ayrton Senna, a Brazilian F1 driver who was three-time world champion and is considered by most F1 drivers to be the greatest driver of all time. Even if you know nothing about cars, F1 or racing, it's a phenomenal documentary.

 

Pretty much anything by Errol Morris. Check him out @ www.errolmorris.com

+1 for Restrepo... sh*t..

I remember seeing the trailer for Restrepo and really wanted to see it. I totally forgot about it until now. I'll definitely put it on my short list. Thanks!

Dont know if it qualifies as a documentary , but on YouTube there is a channel YouTube.com/vice and they have a series called "Thumbs Up" Hitchhiking across America its pretty awesome and the channel also has tons of other very interesting documentaries deff worth checking out

The fog of war

A great documentary about Robert McNamara.

Check out the series of TED talks if you have Netflix.
