| | Posted: | | | | I'd add "Overnight" as a tale of how not to be and what not to do if getting a big break in anything.
And Religious as it's fun(ny) while giving you something to think about. |

| | Posted: | | | | I would point out the what the bleep series is complete cowpie meant to flummox people who don't know anything about quantum physics. I would recommend Murderball in the sports category and American Movie for Entertainment. |

Really a feel good documentary. That is a great documentary. It goes nicely with "Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade" (if you can find it). | | | Reviewer, HorrorTalk.com

Probably two of the best, anger inducing documentaries I've seen. Indeed. And to think these guys are still in jail/on death row.... Same category (the anger inducing variety): Deliver Us From Evil and Jesus Camp. I had to stop the latter 4 times to compose myself. On another note, the last few years a lot of documentaries have been made about metal, heavy metal, hard rock and such. Metal: A Headbanger's Journey. Highly recommended, even if you don't like the music. Global MetalHeavy Metal in BaghdadAnvil: The Story of AnvilGet Thrashed: The Story of Thrash MetalIron Maiden: Flight 666And ofcourse, the infamous Heavy Metal Parking Lot  Other music documentaries that I really like: Shut Up & Sing. The backlash against the Dixie Chicks. Highly recommended. Rock School. The inspiration for School of Rock, with Jack Black. Teenage kids playing Zappa music! Standing in the Shadows of MotownYoung @ Heart. A choir of senior citizens (the youngest is 72 I think) who sing punk, rock and pop songs. Heartwarming! New York DollOther documentaries that impressed me: Harlan County USASpellboundÊtre et avoirJohan Cruyff: En un momento dado. And I don't even like football (that's soccer for you, Americans). |
