The Story of Stuff
1 recommendation
"I always wondered what happened to all of the stuff people didn't buy. I pondered, how much stuff that we make, do we actually use? Well the answer is only 1%. This is so, so sad. I think it's time for a new system, lest you want to keep killing your planet this way. I have to admit I enjoy fashion, and I enjoy stuff, but I definitely think that we need to change the way that we make, consume,..."

All You Need Is Love - Tony Palmer
2 recommendations
"There is a code that is hidden in the music you listen to, and by the way this particular code is not made of music notes or digital polarization, the body of this code is generated from cultural, political, geographical and historical events which have been suppressed to the point that the sum of them all have become one of America's biggest national secrets. What's more is the code was cracked b..."

"The soundtrack to Jullien Temple's movie about Joe Strummer plays like a great mixtape made by your coolest friend. There's some Clash, some Strummer in his post-Clash bands, and a smattering of other great artists. Great compilation."
MacHEADS the movie

"I love my mac. I love the mac community. So when a movie comes out about my mac and its community, I can only do one thing: Love it. MacHEADS is a movie documenting the Mac community from the beginning. Its not exactly out yet, but It is expected to be released in the middle of 2008, and in other languages like German and such a little bit later. This is not just a movie, its a look into the ..."

The Life of Birds
2 recommendations
"I love birds. I think they are beautiful, smart and just amazing. However you do not need to be a bird lover to enjoy this amazing documentary by Sir David Attenborough. I find most fascinating the crows using tools to get food (although I admit I love crows so I might be a bit partial)."
Woodstock - 3 Days of Peace & Music (The Director's Cut)
2 recommendations
"An incredible documentary that is the closest you can get to being there. While it is worth it for the music alone (the Who, Jimi Hendrix, Richie Havens... everyone from the sixties except the Beatles and the Stones, basically) there are some nice little asides where we actually see the people who were there. For those of us who are merely the children of the boomer generation, it's nice to see th..."

Koyaanisqatsi / Powaqqatsi
2 recommendations
"These two art films span the 1970s and 1980s, using only music (by minimalist composer Philip Glass) and the artful manipulation of documentary style video (no dialogue). The first film, Koyaanisqatsi, presents life in industrialized countries as a life "out of balance" - overly dependent on technology, mass consumption and mass production, inhuman, unnatural, etc. Powaqqatsi, the second film, tur..."
Baraka
6 recommendations
"Baraka is one of my all-time favorite movies ever. Shot in 70mm and filmed in 24 countries, it is a logistical and cinematic marvel. The film-makers pioneered several new technologies and techniques in order to capture various time-lapsed and motion-controlled sequences, such as the wheeling starscapes above various beautiful ancient ruins and natural wonders. But beyond the techniques, Ba..."

Jandek on Corwood - A Documentary Film
1 recommendation
"Jandek is a true fringe artist on the musical scene. This great documentary tries to figure out who Jandek is, as at the time the film was made, he had only given two interviews which were already years old, and had never played any live gigs (he has since done many, but no one still know much of anything about the guy). The man has put out a ton of self-released albums on the Corwood Industries..."
