Re: Documentaries
[censored],
The Fog of War is by Errol Morris. He is one of my favorite documentary filmmakers.
Here are three other of his films (I think he has 8) that I really liked. I look forward to seeing the rest of them
Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr. - about an electric chair inventor who denies the Holocaust happened.
The Thin Blue Line - About a police murder and a guy wrongfully convicted for it.
Vernon, Florida - Can't describe it. Wacky people.
Some other of the many documentaries I love:
Crumb - about a crazy comic book writer/artist.
Rank - professional bullriding circuit
Murderball - wheelchair rugby. intense.
Spellbound - spelling bee
Word Wars - scrabble
Cowboy del Amor - about an old guy who sets up American guys w/ Mexican brides
That's just a few. Happy to elaborate on any of them, but I really enjoyed all of them. They all followed the same pattern of focusing on the stories of a few key participants in these worlds.
