Recommend a Documentary v. David Attenborough!

I saw Senna today.

Wow. Documentaries are the only films that ever bring me to tears, and this was definitely one of them - probably one of the best that I've seen, and it further proves that NASCAR is for redneck pussies who don't know how to race.
 
Terry (2011)

Yeah you are correct.

Written and directed by Nick Nevern, Terry is a fictional film that purports to be actual documentary footage that was handed in to the Metropolitan Police Department (although the actors are all credited at the end). Manuel Atkinson plays film student Charlie Ruez, who decides to follow London skinhead thug Terry (Nevern) for a project.
 
Crumb

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109508/

This movie chronicles the life and times of R. Crumb. Robert Crumb is the cartoonist/artist who drew Keep On Truckin', Fritz the Cat, and played a major pioneering role in the genesis of underground comix. Through interviews with his mother, two brothers, wife, and ex-girlfriends, as well as selections from his vast quantity of graphic art, we are treated to a darkly comic ride through one man's subconscious mind. As stream-of-consciousness images incessantly flow forth from the tip of his pen, biting social satire is revealed, often along with a disturbing and haunting vision of Crumb's own betes noires and inadequacies. As his acid-trip induced images flicker across our own retinas, we gain a little insight into this complex and highly creative individual.

Until-the-Light-Takes-Us-DVD.jpg


This movie offers an interesting take on events I had read about in high school. People who are at all familiar with Black Metal probably already know some of the crazy stuff that happened in Norway in the early 90's, but this movie puts a human face to everything - it shows the early Black Metal musicians as social outsiders finding solace in friendship and music, rebelling against the commercialism and superficiality of modern society...a far cry from the church-burning, friend-murdering image they cultivated. I don't think this movie was intended to get people interested in Black Metal: it feels targeted to people already familiar with the Black Metal aesthetic, but I'm sure that anyone would find the story interesting.
 
blakc metal veins

The new film by Lucifer Valentine, creator of The Vomit Gore Trilogy;Black Metal Veins unflinchingly documents the dark realities of despair and morbid self annihilation surrounding the lives of five heroin junkies. The addicts' intertwining stories of pain, loss, sadness, and abandonment lead the viewer down the agonizing and hideous path of horrifying psychological and spiritual destruction as the grim disease of heroin addiction infects and decays the bodies and minds of five young peop
 
The House I Live In

This weekend the top documentary prize at the Sundance Film Festival went to "The House I Live In," which questions why the United States has spent more than $1 trillion on drug arrests in the past 40 years, and yet drugs are cheaper, purer, and more available today than ever. The film examines the economic, as well as the moral and practical, failures of the so-called "war on drugs," and calls on the United States to approach drug abuse not as a "war," but as a matter of public health. We need "a very changed dialogue in this country that understands drugs as a public health concern and not a criminal justice concern," says the film's Director Eugene Jarecki. "That means the system has to say, 'We were wrong.'" We also speak with Nannie Jeter, who helped raise Jarecki as her own son succumbed to drug addiction and is highlighted in the film. We air clips from the film, featuring Michelle Alexander, author of "The New Jim Crow;" Canadian physician and bestselling author, Gabor Maté; and David Simon, creator of "The Wire."

Lost in La Mancha

This documentary follows Terry Gilliam as he, unsuccessfully, attempts to film his ultimate creative obsession - an adaption of the classic tale Don Quixote, a The film gives an interesting look at all of the challenges and tragedies that can befall a major studio release, as well as a glimpse into Terry Gilliam's creative process. Highly recommended to both Gilliam fans and film enthusiasts alike.

Stoked: The Rise and Fall of Gator

When the face of Vision Streetwear decides to rape and murder a young poster girl and bury her body in the desert.

from IMDb

STOKED tells the story of 80s skateboarding icon and convicted killer Mark "Gator" Rogowski. Spanning a decade from the early 80s to early 90s, STOKED is the fascinating character study of a young man's development, couched within the social and historical framework of skateboarding's biggest era. STOKED takes a trip to the 'in-your-face' era of 80s youth pop culture, exploring the mechanism of fame and its darker consequences in one man. A thoughtful and energetic look back at the apex of punk rock, neon jams, and the early days of MTV, the archival documentary follows skateboarding from its grass roots in Southern California backyards to an international phenomenon. Featuring skateboarding legends such as Tony Hawk, Stacy Peralta, Lance Mountain, Steve Caballero, and testimony from Mark "Gator" Rogowski from behind bars, STOKED dramatically reveals for the first time the factors leading to a hero's tragic fall from grace...
