Gasland. This movie made me furious. If this info is accurate, it blows my fucking mind that anything like this is allowed to happen. Just fucking mind-boggling. I cannot believe industry will go to such extremes, with such blatant neglect for health, just in the name of cash. More importantly, I can't believe that a government knowingly lets it happen. | ||

His ability to navigate using sound gets so good that people forget that he's blind. For example, he can ride a bike between parked cars. Just finished watching that. It was incredible. It's pretty damn sad. | ||

I also have watched pretty much every single documentary on serial killers that I could find (there are tons of biographies). They are always extremely interesting; so many different psychos out there yet so many are similar in background. Anyone bored should search on youtube for some of them; there are plenty of playlists with most of the big ones there. I suggest : Albert Fish or Jeffrey Dahmer. Both are pretty chilling. | ||

Hoop Dreams is one of the best docu's ever made. (And then after that, if you have 15-20 hrs available, watch the 7-up series.) | ||

Scratch: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scratch_(2001_film) A documentary on the history of hip-hop DJs and all the aspects associated with being a DJ. Dark Days, already mentioned. A documentary about a HUGE homeless community who band together to live in a abandoned train station. Eventually found by the police and given eviction notices. Dear Zachary: Very famous, but also not for the weak of heart. It's a video-letter from a friend to his best-friend's unborn son. Hoop dreams is pretty good as well. I like killing flies: The main character is REALLY out there. But he makes it interesting. Follows the life of a restaurant owner who caters solely to his customers and refuses to change his ways that he's been following for decades. Documentary follows what happens after his building is sold and he has to do something to save his restaurant. | ||

Run Ricky Run is easily the most interesting sports documentary I have ever seen. Even if you hate american football or sports in general, it is a very unique documentary about one of the most honest athletes I have ever seen. | ||

Then: Sherman's March, A Thin Blue Line (and other Errol Morris documentaries). Pm me if you need tips on tracking 'em down. | ||
