I primarily watch documentaries as opposed to feature films these days. I have no idea why my tastes have changed so much but I'm just not that in to works of fiction anymore.

That being said, The Thin Blue Line is the best documentary I have ever seen.

Also, if you consider Ken Burn's Baseball a documentary, which I don't see how anyone couldn't, that's one of the best as well.

Agreed, you just need a lot of spare time to watch it all, but it's the best and most complete baseball documentary out there.

Currently airing on Starz, "Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood" is a humdinger.

"The Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession" about an early pay-TV channel

Errol Morris' "The Thin Blue Line" which literally freed a man imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit. "Vernon, Florida" and "Gates of Heaven" (about a pet cemetery) are a couple more classics.

"Dogtown and Z-Boys" about skateboarding

"The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling" by Judd Apatow

"XTC: This is Pop"

"The Filth and the Fury" about the Sex Pistols

Many, many from the ESPN 30 for 30 line, including "Once Brothers"

"OJ Simpson: Made in America"

and

"Idiocracy" by Mike Judge

World War II in Colour

I may be biased though, I’m fascinated by that time period

Dear Zachary was one of the first documentaries that made me enjoy the genre. If you haven't seen it, watch it.....heart wrenching!!

IronMonkey415 03-09-2019 01:10 PM

Oh yea Roger & Me is the name of the documentary we watched in school.
I keep searching up [U]Mac and Me[/U]. I could not remember the name.

It took me to some alien film, I recommend you don't search for it.

Rob 23 03-09-2019 01:40 PM

Grizzly Man and Man On Wire both spring to mind.

It's the only Michael Moore movie worth watching. Before he went off the rails.

[QUOTE=morningrushnc;14461483]Ken Burns' _______[/QUOTE]

Exactly correct.

Besides everything Ken Burns has ever made,

[URL="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2246565/"]An Honest Liar[/URL] which is about a modern day Houdini (debunker of frauds) is amazing!

I'd also highly recommend:

[URL="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6700846/"]Aphago[/URL] which is about Google Deepmind taking on the world Go champion

Completely agree. If you are any sort of video game fan, especially old school arcades, King of Kong a Fistful of Quarters is one of the best documentaries I have watched.

- Finders Keepers on Netflix is worth the watch and Perfect Bid, the Man Who Knew to Much which was about the Price is Right was really, really, interesting.

Grizzly Man was awesome. Best part was the Native guy basically saying he had it coming for thinking he could do what he did for as long as he did.
