Lots of good ones on Netflix - just watched Unraveled; pretty good with a lot of meetings with his lawyer who was called the Gambino's in house counsel back in the Gotti days. "Smartest Guys in the Room" is on Netflix and is a must watch. What those guys did in California is obscene.
Another way to find some good stuff is to go to Icefilms and sort the Documentary category by date. Just found "Journey to the Planet Sanity" which is worth watching.
2 older docs if you are into art: "The Art of the Steal" and "Who the fuck is jackson pollack" are worth watching. Square Grooper, Cocaine Cowboys 1 and 2 if the drug trade interests you.
Lots of tremendous links in this thread - it feels like there are tons of good docs out there in the ether, waiting to be discovered.
Not to sound melodramatic but this one killed my naivety about the way the world works:

This is actually a riveting documentary. Cocaine Cowboys 2:

The other got too long. This replaces it.

Yeah, next time there's a hurricane or plumbing thread longer than 3 pages I'm starting my own too.Quote:

This film shows both sides of a recent hijacking.
After watching this you must realize that what we get from our daily news (TV at least) is shallow at best.
If you like beer - Beer Wars is interesting

Surprised nobody took the time to watch this 90 minute excellent documentary. Tyde, Limitles, Druff, Stefano, etc....This is a great hour and a half, and give a review.Quote:

I just watched the first and don't know how to describe it
other than unimaginable, and unimaginably riveting.
I watched this on Netflix last night. Absolutely hilarious. It's about members of the "real life superhero" community. That's a thing apparently.

If I lived in San Diego, I would seriously consider creating a supervillain persona and trolling the shit out of "Mr. Xtreme".
This one is new to Netflix. I've gotten to watch about a third of it so far and it's pretty good.

Anyone like mob documentaries, this is yet another one on Jimmy Hoffa.
Except this is w/Nixon's tapes mixed in, which confirms what Hoffa was saying, that the pardon was a BS deal to keep him out of the teamsters for life.
The teamsters literally got him the pardon to make the Hoffa supporters happy, BUT had Nixon put a condition he could never be involved again, to make the mafia happy, (Fitzsimmons was a much easier puppet to control) which in turn would get the teamsters to vote for Nixon.
Whether you believe the guy who wrote "I heard you paint houses....." is the actual killer or not, (I do), these tapes leave no doubt who ordered the hit and why.

Something about documentaries I guess, is you assume the truth is being told.
Just saw CARSON.
I knew he was a pretty private guy despite his occupation but it was good to hear that he was a "what you see is what you get" kinda guy.
Very humble, pretty loyal and what they call a "sensitive" today.
Well worth the watch. Take a peek behind the curtains.
I'm Dan Rather......
Really liked the 30 for 30 on the Boz. It really gives you a different opinion on him.

They have one on the forming of the Big East that was just great.
Anyone that remembers Big Monday will love it. Patrick Ewing was my 1st favorite college basketball player, and G-town was my team.
College hoops will never be the same, Sleepy Floyd was a SR, & they lost to a UNC team w/Jordan, Worthy and Sam Perkins, in the finals.
Big East had 3 of the final 4 teams in 1985.
There is one on NC State/Jim Valvano, if you made a movie w/all those comebacks it wouldn't sell, no one would believe it.
and this recent one on BC, and the point shaving w/the gang from Goodfella's.
Henry Hill -"I didn't even know it was illegal"
The best one ever is "the two Escobars", remember when that happened, saying if SF was like Columbia, Roger Craig would be dead for fumbling away a NFC championship.

I AM
is an utterly engaging and entertaining non-fiction film that poses two practical and provocative questions: what’s wrong with our world, and what can we do to make it better? The filmmaker behind the inquiry is Tom Shadyac, one of Hollywood’s leading comedy practitioners and the creative force behind such blockbusters as “Ace Ventura,” “Liar Liar,” “The Nutty Professor,” and “Bruce Almighty.” However, in I AM, Shadyac steps in front of the camera to recount what happened to him after a cycling accident left him incapacitated, possibly for good. Though he ultimately recovered, he emerged with a new sense of purpose, determined to share his own awakening to his prior life of excess and greed, and to investigate how he as an individual, and we as a race, could improve the way we live and walk in the world.

Two great docs, the first is about 3 friends who are obsessed at becoming Master Sommeliers which there only 197 in the world. Very engaging
The second is somewhat sobering as the popularity of Sushi is threatening the demise of the Tuna stocks, which will ultimately affect other species below it in the food chain.
Didnt know this was a thing on youtube now

Somehow,
I clicked on this one an it was quite informative/entertaining.
For instance the owner of this estate/castle is Charles Spencer,
Lady Diana's older brother and the he's on his third marriage to
a lovely Canadian Karen Gordon. He's one randy bugger apparently.
The House has been held by the Spencer family for some 500 years.
They are also related and quite close to the Washington's(read George)
and they basically "put them up" when they were down on their luck.(thanks bud)
God Bless the Queen
Always loved Louis
