Re: The Documentary Thread
Grizzly Man is up on Netflix now. I know it's supposed to be a serious doc, but I couldn't stop laughing throughout the entire movie.

Re: The Documentary Thread
Just watched a great doc called "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" about this 85 years old sushi master and his unending pursuit of excellence. Very interesting stuff.

Re: The Documentary Thread
i saw that metallica one, the stuff with mustaine was cool. i also want to see the comic con one.
saw this one way back reading about the church stuff up top made me remember it is called the trials of ted haggard. about the pastor ted haggard and his "fall from grace". not as depressing as the pedophile one mentioned up top more entertaining, still quite sad though.

Re: The Documentary Thread
The most disturbing one of the most disturbing ones was on the Documentary channel on TV: Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer.
That one will give you shivers. |

 I'll check it out later today. Edit: it's also on Netflix, so I'll watch it there, because it doesn't have commercial interruptions.

Re: The Documentary Thread
saw one couple weeks ago on the science channel, "trek nation". made by the son of gene roddenberry. it is not so much about star trek as it is about his son trying to get to know his father. really humanizes roddenberry too.

Re: The Documentary Thread
That was a good one, saw it a few months ago. I really liked the one with William Shatner interviewing all the former Captains.

Re: The Documentary Thread
Can really recommend the danish "The Ambassador"
Trailer VIDEO-CLick to Watch!:
 Its about a journalist who takes on the persona of a businessman and goes deep into Central Africa and get entangled with blood diamond traders, and we get to experience the bizarre under world full of criminality connected to diplomats. It got up on Video on demand just yesterday and it is very entertaining and interesting.

Re: The Documentary Thread
Zeitgeist: The Movie
I highly recommend skipping past the 9 min instrumental intro and just getting to the documentary.

Re: The Documentary Thread
Jiro Dreams of Sushi is excellent. A look into the life and philosophIes of arguably the greatest sushi chef in the world. The documentary provides incredible insight onto this man's life and career. Watch it now!

Re: The Documentary Thread
^ Great doc. As much about Sushi as it is about life in general.
I felt a little sorry for Jiro's son and how hard it is for him to escape the shadow of his father.

Re: The Documentary Thread
I just got done with Indie Game: The Movie. Really interesting doc into the making of indie games, and what the developers go through. They mainly follow the creators behind Super Meat Boy, Braid, and Fez.
It's on Netflix right now, and I recommend.
