EPTThis is just a 10-minute clip of a bigger documentary, but it's so fascinating, scary and confusing at the same time. I cannot even imagine how it must feel to be in a state like that.

Step into Liquid Your first thought: No it's not Starcraft related. This is one of my favorite documentaries I've ever seen. In 2003 it was released and instantly became part of the collection of movies we'd watch at the beach house late at night after smoking and surfing all day. I can't tell you how many times I've watched this, or how many of those I've fallen asleep to the peaceful and awe inspiring footage of surf spots. It's a montage of secret surf spots and the classic locations with interviews and voice overs by the men and women who surf them. It's as good of surf porn as you'll find anywhere until the end. If you haven't heard of The Cortes Bank before, then it's worth watching this documentary on that alone. Spoiler: It features a 66 foot wave being ridden. No, you didn't read that wrong. Sixty six feet. + Show Spoiler [preview of awesome shit] + Riding Giants It's good too. | ||

Thanks alot for posting, had no idea he made a follow-up.. and still bat fucking shit crazy stuff To contribute with something that hasn't been mentioned: Terror's Advocate An examination of the career of Jacques Vergès (1925- ), attorney for members of Algeria's FLN, Palestine's FPLP, the Khmer Rouge, Carlos and associates, Klaus Barbie, and other revolutionaries and outcasts. Archival footage, news articles, and photographs mix with contemporary interviews of Vergès, friends, associates, and historians. Connections with Nazis are explored, as well as Vergès's marriage to Djamila Bouhared, his courtroom methods, his disappearance from 1970 to 1978, and the roots of his radicalism. Throughout, Vergès remains playful and charming, with a soupçon of arrogance. The film suggests Vergès's anti-colonial nature is at his center. Really fascinating and intriguing! | ||

 I will check out some of the mentioned docs later. Now some of my own recommendations. Look them up on IMDB for more info: ![[image loading]](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZxcNTDHxFhs/TKPAAF7UJZI/AAAAAAAAAUs/wVbHJ--ll4E/s1600/51ZJQTW39QL._SL500.jpg) A behind the scenes look at the crazy and violent world of nightclub bouncers. With among others British legend Lenny "The Guv'nor" McLean who appeared in "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" ![[image loading]](http://www.braboys.com.au/images/OPTIMISED_braboys_poster.jpg) A film about the cultural evolution of the Sydney beach side suburb of Maroubra and the social struggle faced by it's youth - the notorious surf gang known as the Bra Boys. ![[image loading]](http://manualmagazine.com/files/2011/07/the-show-cover.jpg) A documentary about the culture of hip-hop. Through interviews with some of hip-hops biggest names, the film makers attempt to find out what makes it tick. ![[image loading]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61vlySoMABL._SX500_.jpg) The Parking Lot Movie is a documentary about a singular parking lot in Charlottesville, Virginia. The film follows a select group of parking lot attendants and their strange rite of passage. Still trying to get my hands on the documentary Gerrymandering somewhere. Sounds interesting but hard to find | ||

Both are excellent. | ||

![[image loading]](http://cdon.dk/media-dynamic/images/product/movie/dvd/image0/armadillo_dk-10689618-frntl.jpg) In Denmark, this documentary helped laying the foundation of the discussion about our role in the wars in the Middle East. I really recommend watching this, it's quite provocative :-) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1640680/ | ||

I can agree on the fact that the film has'nt been questioned and that it has no clear sources, but I think that both Peter Joseph and this guy Edward Winston has some valid points, I find it very hard to belive that he's made it all up. There are some "facts" in the films that can and should be questioned, but as a whole he's more or less right. | ||

The problem with Zeitgeist is not the validity of the points, but rather that it is not even wrong. You can remove half the stuff there and reach the same conclusions, and you can remove half and reach the exact opposite. It is basically about lowering your intellectual barriers and making you get an emotional acceptance of opinions instead of a true factual analysis. Zeitgeists are not documentaries. | ||
