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,..."

Most of all, it gives an historical perspective and places in it many well known bloggers. Check ou..."
Devil's Playground ~ Amish Rumspringa Documentary
1 recommendation
"Okay, so the This American Life I'm listening to right now is blowing my mind. Particularly this story about the 2004 Documentary Devil's Playground. It's apparently about where when Amish kids turn 16, they're set free to indulge in a lifestyle of whatever bad things they want to get into and then decide for themselves if they want to return back to being Amish."
HBO: By The People
1 recommendation
"So, I just saw the trailer for this and I'm flipping out. No, not because im a bleeding heart democrat or something, but really because it looks to be the most honest, behind-the-scenes look at exactly how Barack Obama actually came to be the President."

Amazon: Anvil: The Story of Anvil - DVD
2 recommendations
"Even if you do not understand their art, you have to love the passion that has driven this Canadian band throughout decades of living and performing just outside the spotlight. Fame has come late, and in the unexpected form of this rock documentary. Available on DVD beginning October 6, 2009."
Air Jaws/Air Jaws II
1 recommendation
"This Discovery channel video is the coolest thing in the world, I promise. It's all about capturing amazing footage of great whites flying out of the water ("breaching") to catch seals in mid-air. There's even a scene where 27 great whites start eating a dead whale in the middle of the ocean, and the photographer stands ON the whale carcass to photograph the sharks. Plus, best name ever."
The Blair Witch Project - DVD
1 recommendation
"Ingeniously marketed as a documentary -- its stars were listed as "missing and presumed dead" -- this indie grossed $240 mil and proved that eerie sounds, visceral camerawork and adhering to the less-is-more principle (we never see the witch) make for one hell of a harrowing flick."
Tyson DVD
1 recommendation
"I've been freaking out, wanting to see this in theater. It's the Mike Tyson documentary, that is suppose to be shockingly endearing and smart and moving and awesome. UPDATE: it's everything above, and much more."
Abel Raises Cain
1 recommendation
"Alan Abel, a hoax artist of hilarious proportions and one of the first of his kind. Abel Raises Cain is made by the legends daughter, it honest and truthful and warm laugh-out-loud funny. Abel revolves his life around creating and implementing elaborate hoaxes on the media. And though they often seem impossible to believe, they almost always are."

Whole
1 recommendation
"Apparently, there is a subculture of people who want to be amputees. Sure, some are just wannabes, but some actually go through with it. This '03 documentary explores both of them and one of the most insane mentalities I've ever heard of."
Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired
1 recommendation
"Let's recap. He survived the Holocaust, his wife was murdered by the Manson family, he fell off the deep end, boozed up a 13-year-old and hooked up with her. He was then arrested, but fled to France, where he lives now and is married. Clearly, he can never come back to the United States, but has managed to Win Oscars as recent as 2002 (The Pianist). This is the story of Roman Polanski."
American Movie
2 recommendations
"A documentary about a guy making a horror film, COven, or is it C-oven? Both guys in this film, Mike and Mark, are such characters that you swear they must be made up Hollywood characters but they aren't and you just can't help but love them. SOme VERY funny scenes!"
This American Life - Season One
1 recommendation
"I just started this and it's already one of the most endearing shows I've seen. It's sort of a hybrid from a documentary, news magazine and pseudo reality show. From Chicago Public Radio host, Ira Glass explores simple (often ridiculous) American stories."
AMERICAN TEEN
1 recommendation
"From the git-go, this one had all the ingredients to turn out as the corniest film of the year. However, it's shattered all cliche. It's everything "True Life" on MTV isn't."
Spellbound
1 recommendation
"The national spelling be is a guilty pleasure of all of ours. It comes on and is horribly boring and, really, not interesting at all. However, we find ourselves attached to the TV, captivated. Well, if you are at all captivated by that, then you'll fall madly in love with this documentary about The Spelling Bee and the people who participate."
Vernon, Florida

"Hows this for a back story. This was originally a documentary (title "Nub City") about people who would cut off their limbs to collect insurance money. However, after the filmmaker's life was threatened by the subjects, it was reworked into this fascinating glimpse of the small town south,"
Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman
1 recommendation
"I am a HUGE fan of Julius Shulman and this documentary is all about his ground breaking architectural photography. His images helped shape the careers of some of the greatest architects of the 20th Century: Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler, Pierre Koenig, John Lautner, and many others. I just got tickets to see this on Saturday, June 27th at the Los Angeles MOCA. When this is available on DVD I'l..."

"The newest material from Wilco is out today and it comes in the form of a documentary following the band on their 2008 tour. As it happens, I saw them on this tour in Cain's Balloroom. Expect awesome things."

Food, Inc. reveals surprising — and often shocking truths — about what we eat, how it’s produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here." I can't wait to see this doc..."

Good Hair
1 recommendation
"Well it's about time somebody seriously and critically addressed the issues about hair in the Black community. And suprisingly enough, it was Chris Rock who did it. The documentary film was inspired by a question Rock's young daughter asked him: “Daddy, how come I don’t have good hair?” Unsure about how to answer her question, Rock decided to explore historical and contemporary sources to shed l..."
