Also I should probably add this:

Ross Kemp on Gangs

[image loading]


Another great British journalist, he goes and spends time right in the heart of gangs and learns what they're about. Different episodes = different gangs obviously. He also has a series where he spends time with British soldiers in Afghanistan. Follows them into battles and gets shot at and everything, he's a pretty ballsy guy and I really enjoy his stuff.

Louis is so awesome! Never afraid to ask the right question.

Adding:

Stan Lee's Superhumans

[image loading]

Not really a high class stuff but entertaining nonetheless. There's this guy who chops a baseball in half with his sword which is trown at him by a pitcher, think it's the 6th episode. Pretty awesome

CHASING GHOSTS: BEYOND THE ARCADE
is WAY WAY WAY better than
King of Kong

Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade has many of the same people, like Silly Bitchell. However, it is also the FUNNIEST THING I have ever seen in my ENTIRE LIFE. How do I know this? I LITERALLY began to fear for my DEATH when I started LAUGHING SO HARD I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO BREATHE AGAIN. Get drunk, find some bros that like to have fun, and watch this movie. Your life will NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. I hope my use of caps in this post CONVINCES YOU THAT YOU MUST SEE THIS IF YOU LIKE VIDEO GAMES AT ALL. AND YOU ARE POSTING ON TEAM LIQUID SO YOU MUST.

On top of all that, Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade chronicles the progamers of the 80s, the guys that were the Boxers of the age when America was king of video games. It shows what they are up to now and such. Great history and much more important scope than King of Kong.

I recommend to check out all of Werner Herzog's documentaries, especially "Grizzly Man" about a dude who was a little bit nuts who lived near grizzlies and has finally been eaten by them

End of the Line:


Really well shot, well paced documentary that's both eye opening and shocking yet hopeful.

I'd recommend The Human Animal series of documentaries covering the humans from a biologist's point of view. Topics include: nonverbal communication, why humans live in overcrowded placed(cities), love and several other topics.

Great idea for a topic Subversion! I haven't really had the time to watch many documentaries lately, but I came across this short one the other night on YouTube and found it pretty LOLworthy, if not a little creepy...



Warning: Probably NSFW!

I recommend all of the documentaries listed before, I once went on a binge of documentary watching and watched like 20 documentaries in like 2 weeks. Grizzly Man was great, specially the part when he rages because there's no rain. "Hindu Floaty Thing" ftw.

off the top of my head -

Game Over: Kasparov and the Machine - about the Kasparov - Deep Blue Match. That dude that keeps on whispering was annoying though
Darkon - about LARP players. Really good stuff
Frag - about professional gaming, centering around FPS players like fatal1ty
Second Skin - about MMORPG players, particularly WoW
Spellbound - about a group of kids who participate in the Scripps national spelling bee.
Wordplay - about the national crossword puzzle championships and people who play crossword puzzles
The Revolution will not Be Televised - it's a first person account of a coup d'etat that happens in Venezuela.
Your Mommy Kills Animals - about animal rights activists like PETA and such.

The Root of all Evil.

A Channel 4 documentary by Richard Dawkins, and perhaps unsuprisingly the topic is Religion

[image loading]


Part 1: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9002284641446868316#

Part 2: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9002284641446868316#docid=-8210522903232438954

Edit: Also a very good website on documentaries that I found through the magic of googly
http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/ Has a great collection and is categorised.

Awesome documentary about the life and culture of the homeless in New York City. It was quite surprising to see. There's apparently an entire shanty-town in abandoned subway tunnels under the city.


Bastards of the Party
[image loading]


Great movie directed by Cle "Bone" Sloan. He examines the origins of the LA gangs the Bloods and Crips from the 1950s through the 1990s. As an active member of the Bloods, he's got quite a unique perspective. Sloan stated that instead of leaving the Bloods, he's going to stick around and try to change the gang from the inside.

I'm surprised Errol Morris hasn't been mentioned yet!

The Fog of War
[image loading]


Amazing film about Robert McNamara and his involvement in World War II & Vietnam. Especially interesting if you're into political science.


The Thin Blue Line
[image loading]


Great documentary about a wrongful conviction. It actually got the subject released from jail!
