Recommend a Documentary

Hello. Recently saw "The Queen of Versailles," "The Woodmans," and "The Woman Who Wasn't There." Liked them all. Please recommend a documentary for me. Thanks!

This is my favorite of all time! Even if you don't like motorcycles, I think you will enjoy this movie. It's just so well-made, and it has Steve McQueen!

Good thread! Of the ones mentioned so far I loved Jiro Dreams Of Sushi, (A)Sexual and 20 Feet From Stardom. Thinking of non-rock related ones I have seen recently and liked:

The Source Family

Unhung

Theremin (one of the all time classics IMO)

The Black Power Mixtape

Okie Noodling

Denkmal films: Scientists under attack.


warning: BBC made a doc under the same title, but that one is not interesting at all.

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.

Found this a while ago and didn't get a chance to even look at the 300 documentaries recommended here.

I liked that one and highly recommend it as well. I also recommend the book The God Species by Mark Lynas as good read with a section related to the topic.

Henry VIII's Palace. Easy enough about Hampton Court, it's history.


(A)sexual. About asexual people (people who have basically no sexual desire for any gender) and the struggles they have.

Pandora's Promise.jpg Pandora's Promise. The newer nuclear power debate dealing with some truths about the growing energy demands and the damage of coal usage.

Watched "Last Days Here" over the weekend. I liked it. Documentary about a washed up, drug-addicted, ex-rocker from the band Pentagram. Like a sadder, darker "Anvil: The Story of Anvil."

Yeah that was kind of hard to watch but I did. He's one sad character, even if his band was pretty good.

My wheelhouse.

Utopia, which tells about how Australia treated the first Australians, kind of how we treated the indians:

Manufacturing Consent, about the life and work of Noam Chomsky:

Outfoxed, about the evil that is Fox news:

In America, the rich are getting richer. Isn't that great? Doesn't that mean there's lots more wealth to go round? Or is it good news for the rich but very bad news for the poor?740 Park Avenue, Manhattan, is one of the most exclusive addresses in the world, home to some of the richest Americans, the 1% of the 1%. Ten minutes to the north, across the Harlem River, is the other Park Avenue, in the South Bronx. Here, unemployment runs at 19% and half the population need food stamps.The American Dream of equal opportunities and hard work says you can be born in the Bronx and end up at 740. But is that dream still true? The film argues the super-rich haven't just bought the exclusive addresses – they've bought the whole system and the'’re running it for themselves.

Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy!
