Agreed, The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off.

..and Life & Death of a Serial Killer.
..Nick Broomfield is good.#

..and Louis Theroux.

We both are cool and have great taste in music.

David Attenborough's Blue Planet. Absolutely jaw-dropping, all the way through. Now I want to be a Blue Whale when I grow up.

Theremin: A Musical Odyssey about it's namesake. Compelling spooking doco with a equally kooky Cold War twist.
For a laugh try Spellbound.

baraka, totally mindblowing
microcosmos would come second

Super Size Me was a good laugh and Micheal Moores stuff is pretty engaging. Have to agree about Louis Theroux being brilliant - he's got a new book out where he revisits all of his old subjects to see how they're getting on.

Yes Baraka! And Koyaanisqatsi too. Beautiful stuff.
gerpander
gerpander on Oct 25 '05 at 7:46am
Koyaanisqatsi is one of the best movies ever.

my two favorite documentaries: I've watched them both more than once:

Cadillac Desert
(the history of the fight over water rights in California)

Taller than Everest
(documenting the survey work & cartography done to prove which is taller, k2 or everest)

Super Size Me was a very funny and a very important one for me because since watching it I havent been to a fast food place at all (apart from subway but you see the food prepared in front of you).

dogtown and the Z boys was also a good one to watch.

I downloaded the " Nissan Skyline Story" it was fantastic.... If you like super fast nissan's ...

any Skyline GT-R fans might want to check it out on bt.

they have the Nismo Z-Tune prototype in it.... FAST. and the 1200HP skyline doing 328kph down a toyko expressway (in the middle of the night.)

Capturing the Friedmans was very good, and seemed, for once, unbiased. Watch it!

Meerkat Manor on Animal Planet sounds like the one you're referring to lillem.

littlem on Oct 25 '05 at 1:02pm
mmm....quite possibly so, sir.
gerpander
gerpander on Oct 25 '05 at 1:05pm
My fave animal doc must be the one which came on BBC Prime some time back, about solving a murder case on Amazon. Who killed the poor sloth. Riveting excitement and a sad end when the sympathetic sloth who just wanted to hang back and chill got killed and eaten in the most vicious way.
Not spoiling it here, but it was an event of most unlucky circumstances.
littlem
littlem on Oct 25 '05 at 1:07pm
sloth=someone I know
hehehe
Bramish
   Bramish on Oct 25 '05 at 1:08pm
Haha. I watched that and thought it was preposterous, yet informative. I love sloths. They look so ridiculous.
gerpander
gerpander on Oct 25 '05 at 1:10pm
Sloths rock! Or would if they had the energy to do it.
littlem
littlem on Oct 25 '05 at 1:13pm
wow, two of my favorite things in one show: murder mystery and sloths:)
Bramish
   Bramish on Oct 25 '05 at 1:15pm
There was a throwaway comment on the commentary which made me giggle and giggle some more. Sloths are so dumb that they sometimes mistake their arms for branches. This means that when traversing the treetops, they grab one arm with the other, and then fall from the tree when they remove this arm to move along. Damn my grammar.
littlem
littlem on Oct 25 '05 at 1:22pm
grammar's fine:)

Billabong Odyssey - makes me hide my eyes everytime because Im so scared of deep water!

and David Attenborough rocks.....I loved Life in The Deep Freezer, from about 10 years ago.

The boy who's skin fell off REALLY creeped me out.
I liked Im toten winkel(=blind spot-Hitler's secretary),
Bruce Haack, the king of techno and this one i saw on National Geographics the other day about elephants that went berserk.


And..erm, Suicide Girls-the first tour.
Ady bear
Ady bear on Oct 27 '05 at 6:51am
saw last night one called punk:attitude.

goes from velvet underground to nirvana,featuring along the way the clash,sex pistols,buzzcocks,bad brains,henry rollins,minor threat,fugazi,sonic youth,etc etc.

i was in heaven.

nealteak on Oct 27 '05 at 10:55am
Grizzly Man was good -- try to see it in the theatre... having an audience around you is what makes it.
Other documentary faves:
Fast, Cheap & Out of Control (Errol Morris... brilliant)
Born Into Brothels
Riding Giants (woo!)
Cane Toads: an Unnatural History
Unzipped (Isaac Mizrahi)
Trekkies (I hate Star Trek, but this doc is genius. Trekkies 2... not so much)
Walking With Dinosaurs (legitimate doc? arguable... but good stuff)
rudeboyzach
rudeboyzach on Oct 27 '05 at 11:01am
Dark Days (a movie about homeless people that live underground in NYC)

American Movie (about a poor schmuck that thinks he's a film maker, but he has no real skill)

worthwhilegirl
worthwhilegirl on Oct 27 '05 at 5:43pm
rudeboyzach it's like you read my mind!! Those are two of my favorite movies not just documentaries!!

Also not to be missed:

Style Wars- all about the graffitti artists of the early 80's NY

The freshest kids- all about the history of the b-boy in NY in the early 80's

Off the charts: The American Sound Poem documentary. It's all about the scam of "song poems" where folks write poems & send them in then pay to have them professionally recorded and "released".

I agree! I saw it on IFC a few weeks ago and throughly enjoyed it. What's your take? Did you think either of them was innocent?

i saw someone watching riding giants..and it was freakn amazing!
however, my favorite documentary...as of now...is.....
born into brothels. probably have heard of it...since its kinda mainstream, but its really good. and being a photograogher myself, i thought the whole idea of kids from the red-light district in calcutta takin pictures was really creative.

My favourite faux-documentary would have to be 24 Hour Party People.

If we're talking real documentaries, I saw a really good one recently called Control Room, about Al Jazeera.
