Hey guys,

I'm going through a phase at the moment where I am watching documentaries. Does anyone have any favorites they could recommend?

I've seen...

Bowling for Columbine
Fahrenheit 9/11
The Tillman Story
Wasteland
Countdown to Zero
Man on Wire
The Cove
The King of Kong

Suggest some more please!

The Staircase. A really compelling documentary about a writer who's accused of murdering his wife. Well worth a watch, but don't read anything about the case before doing so. It's probably on Youtube.

If you liked scarface, cocaine cowboys is a good documentry on what it was based around.

^ This. Found it very interesting. Watched it on Youtube, you have to watch it then in 4 parts though I think (per episode)

Looking for it now I see that it is a couple of episodes I have missed

Restrepo is excellent, as are Armadillo and This is War.

Go onto the 4oD and filter for documentaries, there are so many on there which are worth a watch. When I get a chance later i'll reccomend some that I enjoyed watching.

The Corporation, a more level head approach to business sustainability than Moore's offering.

Excellent.

Just goes to show how blinkered people can be when they only accept the conditioning of their environment thus far.
