Default Documentaries

I have started watching these more and more, rather than 'normal' TV.

Here are a couple I watched recently and would recommend...

Food Inc
The End Of America

Both available on Netflix.

Best ever documentary: 'Inside Job' (2010). Loved it.

The message is not really lovable, but its a great doc. "Capitalism a love story" covers the same ground to some extent too.

4 year plan was fab, Briatore must have forgotton that he gave permission or something, otherwise I cant understand why he would have allowed himself to look such a numpty. It was a pleasure to watch a documentary with no voice over, just the footage to speak for itself.

I recently watched an older cycling doc following a Tour de France team , "Chasing legends", that was very good too.

Currently I am watching "Life" on DVD. No one does wildlife like attenborough and the BBC.

I liked the Borat doumentary and the one following the workers of a paper company in Pensylvania.

Did you ever see that one about that heavy metal band, Spinal Pap or something like that?

Mind you , I would probably have enjoyed it a lot more if I hadnt been under such heavy sedation at the time.

"Flight 666" which is a documentary about Iron Maiden on a world tour is worth a watch -whether you are a Maiden fan or not. In the vein of 'capitalism: bad' "The Corporation" is also worth viewing.
