West of Memphis
About 2 1/2 hours long, a very gripping tale.
"After the 1994 conviction of three troubled teens for the murders of three younger boys, questions began to arise about the prosecution of the case, with numerous legal experts and celebrities demanding that previously ignored evidence be examined."
I thought this documentary on Morton Downey Jr. was v good. Guy was batshit insane.

I watched this one tonight. It's interesting to me to see how those guys changed after having kids. I wasn't much of a punk person growing up more into metal, but still good stuff.

I posted this in the JP Morgan thread but I'll also put it here for easier search purposes:

Beware of Mr. Baker
Without a doubt one of the strangest, brilliant, curmudgeonly, hilarious, miserable bastards around. This is a good one.
Sorry if someone already posted about this somewhere else, I have that deja vu feeling.

Man on Wire
This is at the top of a lot of lists, and while somewhat interesting I thought it was a snoozer.

I know I've posted about this one before but just in case anyone missed it, at least watch the trailer. This is really a heartwrenching story with some really baffling twists.
Thought this was pretty good.

On HBO there is a good one on illegal organ harvesting and one on third world brothels. The Thai brothel was an interesting scene. The girls are all in a fish bowl behind glass.
