If you are into natural history then you cant go wrong with any BBC docs with David Attenborough. The new one they are doing is called Life.

Prince of the Rotten Milk
Earthlings, a documentary about how fucked up is our animal treatment. With the voice of Joaquin Phoenix

it'll blow your mind, guaranteed.
 
Tupac Ressurection(Even if you hate rap music, you will love this)

This film is not yet rated ( a wonderful Documentary about what's wrong with the MPAA)

Crumb( This explores the life of Underground cartoonist Robert Crumb from Terry Zwigoff who also directed "Bad Santa" and "Ghost World"

Hype( This one is all about Seattle and how the media too their music and blew it up into this huge fad called Grunge)

Dangerous Days( you can find this on the final cut for "Blade Runner". A must see for any fan of that movie)
 
I wanna see this when it comes out


Also, I always recommend Planet Earth, especially if you have it on BluRay and an HDtv. It's simply beautiful looking
 
Yeah, anything by Ken Burns is always worth checking out. I especially like his, Lewis & Clark:The Journey of the Corp of Discovery, it's very cool.

Hey, me and BlueBalls :thefinger actually agree on something. :tongue: No Direction Home, is a good doco if you like Bob Dylan, and it's directed by Martin Scorseze.

Also, Little Deiter Needs to Fly is really good, and it was directed by Werner Herzog.

Oh, and speaking of which, The Last Waltz is a good one, but I guess it's more of a final concert for The Band but still great and if anyone finds the CD for it, I highly recommend it
 
I guess a lot of peeps will think it pretentious nonsense but I really enjoyed Examined Life. A bunch of philosophers walk around talking!
Philosophy should be a compulsory subject for all school children.

I've seen the section of this that is dedicated to Slavoj Zizek comments which I found interesting. Maybe I'll have to check out the rest, if I can find it.

And now that I'm on the subject of Slavoj Zizek; A Pervert's Guide to Cinema is a doc I enjoyed too.
 
I recommend this one called "Paperclips." It's about some kids middle school kids in a hick town in Tennessee, I think, that start collecting paperclips to get a visual representation of all the victims of the Holocaust. It's really good.
