Recommend a Documentary v. David Attenborough!

SIAP, but I recently watched How To Die In Oregon. It's on HBO right now. Pretty fascinating stuff, especially if you have a bit of a morbid side. Fair warning - if you're sensitive, you'll be crying throughout the majority of the movie, but it's a really well done film on a pretty controversial subject.

I also recently watched the two Paradise Lost docs, which are also pretty interesting. Just a very strange situation going on there all around.
 
About to start watching Frozen Planet here.

In case they haven't already been recommended:

Bus 174, about a street kid in brazil that takes a bus full of people hostage. Goes quite indepth about the general situation in brazil with street kids.

Grizzly Man, by Werner Herzog, he basically looks at the life of a nature-obsessed guy who used to go on trips to Alaska to be with bears, ended up being killed by one.

Revolution will not be Televised, about the venezuelan coup. Nice sort of thing to watch if you hate western governments :D
 
I'm sure it has been mentioned in this thread previously - I watched Catfish last night and thought it was excellent. It takes the viewer through a pretty wide range of emotions, and it's very relevant in a society driven by Facebook and social media. I rate it 9/10.

Academy Award winning documentary investigates the workings of the global financial industry before and after the 2008 economic crisis. This one is pretty excellent, I highly recommend it.

+ 1000.
 
Man On A Wire
A look at tightrope walker Philippe Petit's daring, but illegal, high-wire routine performed between New York City's World Trade Center's twin towers in 1974, what some consider, "the artistic crime of the century."

havent seen yet, just about to watch....
;)

Not a documentary per se, but the 12 part Audio Lecture by Allan Watts entitled "Out of Mind" has been kicking my depression in the teeth these past few days.
 
Recently watched Vietnam in HD on History channel
Was just as good as WWII in HD if not better

You can watch it here for free streaming on the history channel website

that reminds me, The Sorrow and the Pity (1969)
"1940 to 1944, France's Vichy government collaborated with Nazi Germany -
comment on the nature, details and reasons for the collaboration, from anti-Semitism, xenophobia, and fear of Bolsheviks, to simple caution
"

this is massive, seems made the only way it could of been.
something so heavy seems guaranteed to be very depressing,
but, it cant possibly drag on for 254 minutes in such a light? - being personal stories about the events surrounding 4 years of Nazi occupation, it is realistic as can be,
fucked up sense of humor included as needed...
impossibly good.

the way the mannerisms and expressions of the subjects is caught, it is as if you can feel their presence...then the pity part, it is just mind-boggling.
