Recommend A Documentary

[Hopefulsuicide]

BBC's LIFE-animal documentary it's just stunning!

Agreed. And Blue Planet. Tbh anything with David Attenborough's voice is just so engrossing.

My favourite Documentary film maker is Louis Theroux. He just really works his way into the heart and truth of things, mainly by acting like a complete spoon but it works! Best one is definitely 'Most Hated Family in America', but they are all brilliant.

Just saw Michael Moore's new one on Capitalism. Was good. Not as good as the others, but I put that down to it requiring a bit more intelligence, so I got lost in parts (not that i'm stupid)

Also finally got around to watching Loose Change, and just came away with this extreme sensation of 'surely if all that were true, something would have been done about it after the release of the film'. But a good friend of mine who is incredibly clever told me that most of the stuff in there was complete tosh, and that it's been discredited by a lot of people.

Can't think of anymore that haven't been mentioned, might do later

I can recommend 3 documentaries.

1. His Name Was Jason: 30 Years Of Friday The 13th.
2. Halloween: 25 Years Of Terror.
3. Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy.

The Elm Street one u may have to special order from a place like Barnes and Noble but it's a documentary every film andhorror buff should have. They pull no punches and it reveals a LOT of facts and behind-the-scenes pictures and stories that thrilled me to no end!

For those with an interest in the economics front, Inside Job is a good documentary to watch. It tells the story of the global financial meltdown that happened in the year 2008, with interviews from influential people in the field. Another interesting on I recently watched is Citizenfour starring Edward Snowden. It talks about personal privacy, liberty and freedom of speech in the present times.

If you're from Western Pennsylvania or like the Pittsburgh Penguins there is a good documentary narrated by Joe Manganiello called "Pittsburgh is Home: 50 Years of the Pittsburgh Penguins" which was produced by the team. It covers the whole history of the Pens and all the problems they experienced from 1967 through 2017.
