Recommend a Documentary v. David Attenborough!

"The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_kong

I saw this docu on tv a while ago and I admit that looks rather silly at first sight, but I kept watching and definetely didn't regret that. It gives you an insight in the minds of some "weird" individuals and it often made me wonder wheter this is real or fiction.
 
Amercian Drug War: The Last White Hope.
its not some crazy propaganda paranoid conspiracy theory.
Its an honest heartfelt look at the way drugs are controlled manufactured and forced down the throats of many dimwitted people.

you can download the movie on pretty much any torrent site.

I enjoyed this documentary, showing Amish teens having their first taste of freedom and the "English" way of life before committing to the church. They have wild parties and get involved in all kinds of things you wouldn't expect, really interesting insight into something I had very little previous knowledge of :).

i just watched this and enjoyed it for the most part... but that may be because i have had some contact with the amish for my entire life and this showed me the sides i never got to see.

i also caught blinders on pbs.
a bit preachy but overall very interesting. again it is another docu that showed me a little seen side of something i have been around my whole life and never thought too much about.
 
Flight from Death: The Quest for Immortality

A great doco about our relationship with death and how “death anxiety” affects human behavior. It’s narrated by Gabriel Byrne and is brilliant.

Waco-the Rules of Engagement

This is a very sad doco about how the American Government murdered the members of the Branch Davidians and covered it up. The evidence is irrefutable.

Trailer:

Earthlings

A great doco about all forms of animal cruelty. Watching this changed my life

Here’s the trailer:

The Elegant Universe

/thread

i watched this last night in lieu of your recommendation max; and disliked it. rather than exploring all avenues of the "string theory/theory of everything" it was like listening to an anal broken record with minimal explanation BEHIND the theory. i understood the topic; but felt it was being sold to me, cheaply. the concept is one that everyone should know about; but the film composure, information source and direction was as boring as batshit. sorry. <3
 
^^^seconded, and i mean every single letter you typed, in the same oorder.
 
I hated Koyaanisqatsi but, as I've said before, I'm pretty alone on my dislike of it.

trailer


Focuses on the people behind a controversial and multibillion dollar industry and depicts their stories, each one different, unadorned and authentic, without glorification or prejudice.

Friend recommended this to me and I watched it last night. Well worth it.
 
The Elegant Universe

/thread
the book, yes
but the documentary, although being nice contains, as has been implied about 1% of the info of the book
it's more a good trailer than a finished documentary


In case you enjoyed Baraka
it's a movie, but in case you like baraka, watch "the fall"
it's pretty much baraka made into a wonderful movie

Earthlings

A great doco about all forms of animal cruelty. Watching this changed my life
and brought quite a few ones to tears

we had it projected in a small associative room, people were crying out loud

a friend of mine asked me to copy it for her, she was unable to watch past the first 5 minutes (and i'd say that it's later on that it gets though to bare)

like me....I love my meat but the pain and suffering those animals went through were just so horrible to watch....I had a lump in my throat for hours after watching this documentary.
