Thread: Good Documentaries???

I am beginning to really get in to documentary films. Can anyone suggest some good ones? I've just seen Exit out the gift shop and King of Kong, and that documentary about the crossword puzzles. All pretty pretty good.

I thought Man on Wire was an excellent documentary.

The elegance of universe is a good one.

cool I'll check them out!

i was gonna suggest wordplay, buy you said you watched that.

there's supposed to be one out by johnny knoxville (i know what you're thinking) about Detroit. as someone who used to live near Detroit i'm really excited to watch it. the trailer/teaser looked great.

Personally, I really like the Universe series. Informative and not too complicated. Manages to get its point across even if you are not science minded

If you have ever heard of Top Gear, or Jeremy Clarkson, or James may..

Jeremy Clarkson has 2 documentary series out that are really good, Inventions that changed the world. The Episodes are the Computer, the Gun, the Television, and the Jet Engine.

Also Jeremy Clarkson has a 6 part series out called "Speed" it is about the legitimate need for speed, why and how humans go fast, from racing at 200mph, to flying a fighter pilot..he even puts his elderly mother on a rollercoaster to show how seretonin effects people.

James May has 2 series out, James May's 20th Century which is about various technological changes throughout the past century, from space travel to the invention of the teenager.

James May also has "James May's Toy Stories" which is one of my favorites, and if you grew up before everything was digitized, you'll remember some of these things.

The First part in the series is about plastic models, and James may gets a group of young elementary schoolers to build a life size plastic model of a Spitfire, he builds an entire house out of legos, the longest scalextric track in the world for racing H:O cars, all in all its a good documentary about growing up in the past.

If you're looking for more serious documentaries, Brian Cox has tons about quantam, nuclear, and theoretical physics. :001_smile:

Jungle Trip <---- Click

Lost in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, there is a vine that is said to talk to humans, giving an understanding to the secrets of life. The custodians of this plant are the medicine men, or shamans. The divine does not give up its’ secrets easily. It appears the botany of the plant is only half the story. To know it fully, you must experience its’ effects. Ever since he discovered.

Its very good documentary ;)

dont waste your time watching Michael Moore crap.
