"The Filth and the Fury" is another good documentary. So are "Decline of Western Civilization" 1 and 2. I hope one day part 3 comes out. Kind of surprised that it has never leaked out.

Reality 86'ed is one I've wanted to see for awhile now and it finally leaked on the net in May by Dave Markey himself. Sadly, short after that Greg Ginn shut it down once again.

One day I hope to see it...

Thread resurrection! I love a good documentary. I just ordered A Certain Kind of Death. Anybody seen that one? Watched Dear Zachary the other night, and while it made me sick to my stomach by the end, I'm not completely sure it's such a good documentary. Too much time spent glorifying the murdered man and his parents, which made it feel a lot more manipulative than it had to be. Any somewhat new documentaries you guys would recommend?

I'm not embarrassed to say it but I teared up several times. It's streaming on Netflix currently. Sniff..Last edited by Matt H.; 09-07-2016, 10:55 AM.Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?

Thanks for suggestions by the way. I recognize a couple of these from Netflix I think, so I'll check it out when I have a couple of hours to spare.

You do have a point, Matt. I have a hard time enjoying the sentimental tone of many of these personal documentaries, though. Maybe I'm just jaded.
EDIT:
Just remembered I've seen The Imposter before by the way. That was a great one.

I watched Cartel Land on Netflix tonight. Very good documentary about the endless circle of violence and corruption that's tearing Mexico apart. Feel they could've skipped the American segments, as they add very little (except one extremely good looking vigilante). The film really gives you very little hope for the future of the region. It's as if we as humans cannot tear ourselves from our natural state of greed, brutality and ever-present Wille zur Macht.
