kevdo242 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I've watched 2 documentaries today (Battle of Chernobyl, Jesus Camp). Can anyone suggest any others?No Religulous (I dislike Bill Maher), Inconvenient Truth (seen it), or Michael Moore/Morgan Spurlock (seen em).

SunnyDRE Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Hoop Dreams.One of the best (if not the best), sports movies ever made. Even if you don't like sports, this movies is worth seeing.When it was released, documentaries weren't allowed to be nominated for best picture, but because it was so good, there was tremendous public support to change the rule.

RocketQueen1985 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 "Auschwitz". I bought this on dvd some years back and it's really good. It was originally aired on BBC and it's in 6 episodes so it's pretty long, like 5 hours or something. But it's really good and very detailed.

AbominableHoman Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I was kind of hoping you'd download it for me, burn it, do a custom cover (Weiland era Jackie), seal it with some sort of maple adhesive, wrap it in one of your old jerseys and send it to me.

kevdo242 Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 Wow, thanks for the overwhelming response. I've got today off, so I'll watch a couple after breakfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Moon Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 The Nazis: A Warning from History (10 hours long i think but also brilliant)i watched this over the weekend and it was great. thanks for the suggestion. fyi, it was 6 - 45. min episodes, but it really flew by. the series was very well paced. just today i watched the last 3 episodes in a row, couldn't stop. i found it much more engaging than ken burns : the war, that was 7 parts and at times i really had to force myself to watch it. i just downloaded "beefs", i watched 2 seconds (literally) to make sure it was what i was looking for, it is, and i loled. im not sure what 2 seconds i saw, but it was hilarious nonetheless.
