    Can anybody recommend good Documentary Films?

    In the last few months I've seen:

    Collapse
    The Bridge
    The King of Kong
    Religulous
    Surfwise
    The U.S vs John Lennon
    Anvil! The Story of Anvil
    Sicko
    Fahrenheit 9/11

    Just downloaded "The Cove" and "Capitalism : A Love Story". Going to watch them tonight. Also heard "Zeitgeist" is worth watching.

    Cheers in advance.

    brilliant film that. you always imagine the sheer geekiness of extreme video game players and this just shows it. love the fact your average guy just comes along and smashes the record.

    Zeitgeist is brilliant.

    I'd also suggest you watch Freedom From Facism.It explores the little known fact ,especially among Americans,that there is no law in the American constitution that requires people to pay federal income tax,therefore practically making the IRS an illegal organisation

    The Israel lobby is another good one as The Shock Doctrine

    Aye, I really enjoyed it, although I heard that some of it was set up, kinda ruined it for me (probably shouldn't have told you that)

    Mate you should watch A letter to Zachary it was on the BBC a few months back, its not political or anything its a true story really well made though, very powerful stuff. If your in to politics then i highly recommend 'The Most Dangerous Man in America' its about the guy who leaked documents about the lies of the Vietnam War. Again its very well made, nominated for an Oscar i think.

    Occupation 101, about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is good, a real eye opener.

    So recently I've watched:

    Loose Change
    Zeitgeist
    Zeitgeist Addendum
    Capitalism : A Love Story
    The Cove
    Superpower
    Freedom to Facism

    All were really good, with the exception of "Superpower". The two "Zeitgeist" films were superb. Really looking forward to the third.

    Another I watched was "The Obama Deception". This scared the * out of me if I'm honest. The thought of "The New World Order" sends a shiver down my spine. Safe to say I'm now paranoid.

    Downloaded " An Inconvienent Truth", "The Age of Stupid", "The Most Dangerous Man in America" and a couple of anti-Michael Moore films, "Fahrenhype 9/11" and "Michael Moore Hates America", which I'll watch of the next couple of days.
