Documentary thread. What are some of your favourite documentaries? Topics can range from the mating of dodos to middle eastern politics
I'm in the middle of The Next Pearl Harbor. It's a 5-hour 9/11 doc on Youtube.
Tickled is really well done. It captures that seedy underground investigative reporting tone, even though the subject matter is kind of absurd.
In Defense of Food is one of the few good docs about health and food manufacturing that doesn't fellate some special interest group (meat industry, vegans, etc.).
Citizenfour is fantastic.
The Jinx is pretty good. Great opening, great song. Case is pretty interesting.

Man on wire was pretty dull with the exception of the score and a few scenes where the score is centerstage. Otherwise a really bore to watch.

>Citizenfour is fantastic.
it was pretty good, good enough that Stones "Snowden" was a redundant, comical overdramatization of what happened. Levitt made Snowden sound like a NSA Forest Gump with that voice.

dying for everest: Pretty good
The Fatal Game: Also really good
Eight Summits: The Bill Burke Story: Meh alright.
