National Geographic, Discovery Channel, History Channel, A&E, and Discovery Science Channel all have great documentries. I watched a couple last week on Abe Lincoln and George Washington. I don't remember for sure, but I think they were on National Geographic. Very good if you like Presidential stuff.

King of Kong is awesomely entertaining! :thumbsup:
Scartch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scratch_(2001_film) it pushed me over the edge to DJ live.
Awesome. Thanks, Spleen! :thumbsup:
Also,another really good skateboarding documentary is "Stoked:The Rise And Fall Of Gator".
If you don't know,Mark "Gator" Ragowski was at one time back in the 80's,just as popular and famous(relatively speaking) as Tony Hawk,and I would go out on a limb and say that his boards sold as many,if not more than Hawk's did.
This is a truly tragic tale of how some people just really don't know how to handle their own fame.Whether you are into skating or not,it's an excellent watch.

I wasn't as big of a fan of this. I'm not really sure why. I guess it was just OK in my opinion. Kind of felt like a story with no real moral at the end....other than don't kill someone. Plus the phone interview just seemed annoying to me, but I suppose that could have been seen as artistic or really, the only way they could've gotten an interview.
I don't really think that the filmmakers were out to deliver a moral to his story.I felt like it was what it was.A guy that was a talented skater who's life went to shit because he couldn't control himself.
I like the fact that it wasn't stylized like a lot of other docs.It was straight forward and unapologetic.
The Bridge,The King Of Kong,and Man On Wire are a few of my favorites,but they have a very stylized presentation to them that Stoked just chose not to do,which I appreciate it for that.
The best documentaries I can think of immediately are the one about the Munich Olympics terrorism, narrated by Michael Douglas; and the one about the Weather Underground.
Ken Burns is supposed to be the documentary stud, and he's done stuff on baseball and jazz but they're insanely long.
