FYI documentary lovers:
http://www.hotdocs.ca/
their showing docs all over the city for the next little while

Documentary Channel is on free preview right now channel 325 (rogers)
I suspect it will last for the duration of the world cup as Bold channel is also showing some games (channel 277)

Found one... didn't watch it yet...

Heres one about ISLAM and how shit is going down now and the return of Mahdi.

its more of a reading thing than watching. Im not turning this into some religious debate. Im not even Muslim but its still interesting read and to think about. Shit is definitely going down to some degree imo

my brother sent it to me. hes big into this kind of thing.
I had to watch parts over and over/read it over and do a little googling since im not educated on some of the terms. but still a good watch.

follow the links. there are 8 or 9 parts if i remember right.

Forgot to mention this link last time I posted a bunch of recommendations here ...

For a list of many great documentaries, go here - Canadian link! Good resource for new upcoming documentaries too.

Gasland

Some new good ones I bought and watched recently:

Black Coffee and Black Gold on coffee, with the first one much better. Good overview of coffee's history, economics, politics ... its more than just a cup of coffee.

Black Money, by PBS, exposes the huge magnitude of the worldwide sophisticated corporate corruption system, so powerful that even the governments are afraid to touch it.

Fidel, The Untold Story is a very interesting documentary on Fidel Castro, using archived footage and original clips, from the Cuban perspective.

Inside North Korea, by National Geographic - a very interesting yet short (1 hour) documentary on life within North Korea, from a hidden tour inside.

Thanks for this one. I knew somewhat about the economy when I went down to Buenos Aires on business a couple years ago. I knew about the people losing their life savings.

It was good to learn WHY they lost it all, and also why I few down there in the first place to hire top-notch staff at 1/3 of the cost to hire them here.

I do not know if it was mentioned before.

Conrad Black biography?

^ It's about how the city of Philadelphia basically stole/took over the Barnes Foundation, an art collection that's estimated to be worth $25 billion.

This was my fave from Hot Docs last year and at the end all I could think of is that the truth really is stranger than fiction. The documentary makers did a q&a and explained that they couldn't believe the story when it was first brought to them. And as they uncovered more material their thought was - how on earth could they do this and get away with it?? But they did.

Highly recommended.

AWESOME! I love Heist films

I just watched: The Corporation

It was posted about earlier in this thread. A great documentary and one I think everyone should watch.

Countdown to Zero

I believe these personal favourites have yet to be mentioned:

'The People's Century'. An epic 26-parter that wonderfully charts the history of the last century, using the first-hand recollections of the people whose lives were affected by the developments. It rightly won an international Emmy.

Simon Schama's 'A History of Britain'. It does exactly what it says on the tin, right the way back to the Stone Age, in 3100 BC. It was so good that I had to buy the DVD set.

Michael Palin's (the former Monty Python) travel doc's, including 'Around the World in 80 Days', 'Pole to Pole', 'Full Circle', 'Hemingway Adventure', 'Sahara' and 'New Europe'. His quirky and down-to-earth sense of humour is a breath air compared to some more aloof and patronising travel guides.

'Touching the Void'. My mates and I watched this by accident, as there was no way that we went to the cinema to watch a sodding documentary. I persuaded them to stay, and do not regret it for a second. Truly life-affirming. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjD6Y_YMxZg

'The Civil War', by Ken Burns. A simply majestic piece of work. The first documentary that I was truly engrossed by as a kid, and probably the first time that I regularly watched something on the TV that was not a cartoon! [[ LINK REMOVED ]]


'The World at War'. Laurence Olivier's narration is spellbinding. It was voted the Britain's 19th greatest ever television programme.

Here is a link to a list of what appear to be some legendary documentaries: http://listverse.com/2007/12/04/top...mentary-series/

Generally, the BBC and PBS consistently make superb doc's. A great narrator and musical scores seems to enhance the pleasure of watching a documentary so much.

Any recommendations for documentaries/interviews questioning religion, exploring atheism, etc???

Films like Religuous, BBC's The End of God, etc.

Religilous is an AMAZING movie, I love Bill Maher. I looked through my collection, and I recommend you watch The God Who Wasn't There
