The one where they actually found Noah's Ark. Made a believer out of me.

Jiro Dreams Of Sushi is excellent. Just saw that recently.

Also most HBO Documentaries are terrific. White Light/Black Rain will stick with you. And the gas chamber scene in One Nation Under Dog is probably the single most disturbing thing I have ever watched.

I have been watching a series of documentaries called "The Great War and the Shaping of the 20th Century" which is pretty damn interesting. Shit makes Kaiser Wilhelm seem like almost as big a mouth-breather as Hitler.

[baseline bum]

"Not Just a Game" is a pretty awesome documentary about how politically charged sports are. LOL at how he contrasts sell-out Jordan to Muhammed Ali.

Situation Critical is also a good documentary show, and the Entebbe rescue is my favorite ep.

Ehh I don't know. The gifs of people setting animals on fire are worse, then the pics of guys fucking animals, then this. It wouldn't be nearly as bad if they didn't cram them full so much and stack them on already dead dogs.

[Summers]

Apocalypse: The Second World War is one of the best documentaries about the era.



Agreed on that one. It was really interesting.

I just watched Half the Sky on PBS about women's issues around the world. Nothing new, really, but difficult to see the faces of children forced into prostitution, etc in cultures where female children are useless. And inspirational to hear the stories of people trying to change the law and culture.

A few years ago I watched The Elephant in the Living Room, about the exotic animal trade in the US. Very interesting. Fore pure science-nerd entertainment, I loved a documentary I saw a couple weeks ago on National Geographic called, I think, Eating Giants, about cameras aimed at an elephant corpse for a week or two so a team of scientists could study the decomp. Truly riveting. Who knew hyenas start by plunging neck-deep into the ass? :lol

[Capt Bringdown]

Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner - 2007

The definitive three-and-a-half hour documentary about the troubled creation and enduring legacy of the science fiction classic "Blade Runner," culled from 80 interviews and hours of never-before-seen outtakes and lost footage.

This probably appeals most to film & sci-fi buffs, but I reckon it's also one of the best soup-to-nuts films about film making that I've seen. All the behind the scene stuff of film making is presented, from the business/finance side of things, the creative struggles and discoveries, the workings of a film set and crew dynamics, distribution, etc - it's all there.
It's also interesting to see how pre-digitial special effects were worked out and put together.
Highly recommended

[leemajors]

Winged Planet is kind of awesome.

[CuckingFunt]

I recently watched Jiro Dreams of Sushi and agree with those who have already suggested it.

One that I haven't seen mentioned in here yet is Being Elmo. Not having any particular fondness for (and/or interest in) Elmo, Sesame Street, or puppeteering, I was somewhat surprised at just how much I liked this one. As with Jiro, there's something nice about watching the story of someone who works really hard at, and becomes successful in, the thing they love doing.

Better than World at War? It's about a 35 part series and the episodes on the Nazis taking power, the Battle of Stalingrad, and the taking of Iwo Jima are incredible. Also a couple of episodes with interviews with Traudl Junge, whose story was told again in Downfall. The actual footage they had from Iwo Jima was crazy.

Never seen those; are they about the western front? I'm quite fond of "Gallipoli" and even more so with "Lawrence of Arabia". "Paths of Glory" is good and "Sgt York" is not bad for an older film.

But I'm still looking for a decent new-ish Western Front film that isn't forcefeeding us American storylines. Flyboys and Warhorse can lick my testicles.

Anyways, I'll look around this weekend and try to type up a WW1 doc list. Too many incomplete ones out there

Johnny Got His Gun is just B&W inner monologue of a guy who's been irreversibly maimed in the war. A Very Long Engagement is a french film (lol france), but is easily my favorite WWI movie ever made.

For movies, BBC also adapted the novel Birdsong last year. A lot of melodrama in it, but also some fair attempts to portray aspects of the battle of the Somme, which really needs to be its own movie or miniseries someday.

Never heard of the BBC series; thanks, I'll have to check it out. I wonder if it's as good as Thames' World at War was for WWII (best documentary I have ever seen, and it's not even close). The PBS series The Great War and the Shaping of the 20th Century seems a little biased in trying to make KKK-asshole Woodrow Wilson into some kind of hero.

Then Neville comes in and has a great plan: Let's just have an all-out attack on a heavily fortified German defense! That'll get morale up!

Why the 9/11 commission practically ignored WTC7That commission was not an engineering report. There is one of those for WTC 7


Why a steel framed building with minimal damage and a few offices fires came down at nearly freefall speed.It's in the report.


Why the only witness that said he was inside and saw explosions was egnored by the 9/11 commission and when was asked to do a tv interview just happen to mysteriously die.He had already done interviews. In fact he and the other man he was with in WTC7, about whom you are demonstrably ignorant, were interviewed for the engineering report about which you appear to be completely ignorant.


Why the BBC news reported the building collaps when it hadn't collapsed yet.They got it wrong. There were contemporary reports saying it had collapsed or was about to collapse. If you remember it was kind of a busy day for news operations. Then again, maybe you don't. Do you?

So far I'm really liking The Unknown War (http://www.amazon.com/War-WWII-Battles-Russian-Front/dp/B004NJC0I4), which is a 5 DVD set (about 20 hours total) about WWII from the Soviets' view. I'm sure it leaves out inconvenient things like Poland, how the Red Army raped the shit out every woman in Berlin, the forced labor of German citizens as reparations, the Stasi and the East German police state, etc. Still, it's pretty cool seeing the story of the partisans, how they quickly moved all their war production across the Urals, the 800 day siege of Leningrad, etc. I really wish there was something similar from the German perspective, but I'm doubtful anything was ever made since the Germans had an attitude of "never speak of it again" until the last maybe 10 years or so.

[The Gemini Method]

did you know they found an entirely new species of lice in his dreds?

I read about that somewhere--but to hear that is way interesting and gross at the same time!

I've also recently watched and enjoyed:

"The Internet's Own Boy"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3268458/?ref_=nv_sr_1

"Killer Legends" - (sheds some light on a lot of old legends, like the "poison in the Halloween candy" bs that my mom drilled into my head as a kid)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3449040/?ref_=nv_sr_1

What do you guys recommend? I don't care about the subject, just need something interesting.

Normally not a fan of colorization and dubbing but I'll give Peter Jackson's vision a try in the theater. Going to be totally Anglocentric but I'm watching to see the film technology as much if not more than the history.

I did watch the Impossible Peace: The Time Between World Wars series on Amazon Prime. A pretty good Australian production about how we managed to fuck things up all over again. I can't imagine anything like it being produced anytime soon, so if you're interested in an overview of this time this is it.

Watched the Orson Welles documentary, "They'll Love me When when I'm Dead". Awesome. Went and watched what Netflix put out as his last film- not awesome.
