It's weird, I'm not a big fan of hardcore music, but I find that movie fascinating. That and this doc called Punk: Attitude.

Thanks, I'll check out your recommendation. I listen to a great amount of bands that are generally labeled as hardcore punk. So, I suppose I am somewhat biased due to my love for that type of music. However, the whole movement was definitely very intriguing in and of itself.

I just went to the True/False Film Festival and these documentaries were my favorites of the ones I saw there. I'd keep an eye on:

Forbidden Lies
Man on Wire
Audience of One
The Order of Myths
Shake the Devil Off

... and then there was Taxi to the Dark Side, although that needs little introduction.

"The Devil and Daniel Johnston"

Simply the best doc ever. If you haven't watched it, what are you waiting for?

"Supersize Me". Very enlightening.

My favorite documentaries are about dinosaurs. The one I like the most is before the dinosaurs walking with monsters. Does anyone know of a complete list of all the different animals in the dvd?

I haven't watched as may as I would've liked, but of the few I've seen, these are my current faves:


5. Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse - With events like rented military helicoptors being called off during a scene of Apocalypse Now, so they can go engage in an actual combat for an actual war that was going on at the time & then Martin Sheen having a heart attack between shooting scenes, all happening during the filming of this movie, the true story of how this movie was made is almost as surreal & engaging as actual the movie itself.

4. Jesus Camp - Back when I was a kid, I was sent to a Jesus camp for one summer.
I even earned a badge for being able to whistle thru my stigmatas.

3. Streetwise - An emotionally wrenching ending, because it's real life & not a script. This film focuses those who are easily forgotten & brings to the surface their reality & all the drama & emotion that the world of escapism entertainment can never really compare to.

2. 42 & Up - Taking the film segments of the various people chosen for this project as children & watching 'em up against the segments of them as adults, it's almost spooky on it's perspective & can beg the question, at what point in life do humans lose the expressionisms of freespiritness than naturally comes with being a child & become the more restrained walking representive of a crushed spirit that many adults can easily end up as?

1. Anne Frank Remembered - As with everyone else, sometimes, it gets pretty easy for me to forget how good I really have it in life. Every time I watch this movie, & hear the part when Anne writes in her diary of her waiting for things to get back to normal, as a viewer who knows that for her it never will, it serves as a great reminder to me that not taking things for granted is an act of appreciation that should never wait until tomorrow. The footage included that is the only existing footage of Anne, only serves to enhance the importance of this lesson of gratitude.
