What's your favorite documentary?

There was a fabulous documentary about Julia Roberts and her trip to Mongolia where she stayed with a nomad family who lived in traditional ways.She loves horses and went to see how the horses in Mongolia hadnt changed and still look they way they did 100's of years ago.

Another documentary about Jonny Kennedy called 'The boy whose skin fell off'.
He has a condition were the skin can come easily detatched from the body with any type of abrasion, his hands looked like they had 'worn' off till they were stumps.PArts of his body had sores where ther skin was very thin, he was in constant pain thoughout his life.He recently died from cancer brought on by his condition.Its one of those documentaries that had me choking back the tears.

A few years ago I watched a docu/series which had been going since the 70's following a man who was having a sex change and followed him through his life as he adapted to life as a female .An updated versionwas shown about 6 years ago, hopefully they will show a new one soon.

If you liked Dig!, you might like The Fearless Freaks, a documentary about the Flaming Lips. I want to see The Wild Parrots. I've heard it's great. The Fog of War is excellent. I agree tha tCrumb is great, as well. I can't think of any others right now.

One of my favorite documentaries is "Fast, Cheap and Out of Control".

It is about the careers of four men: a lion tamer, a topiary gardener, a robotics guru and an expert on the naked mole rat.

What its really about is passion and obsession.

"Capturing the Friedmans" is another very good one about a man and his son accused of sexually abusing children.

While flawed "The Eyes of Tammy Faye" is one I enjoyed because I think the Bakkers are fascinating.

Does Blockbuster have any of these?

I've rented several of the movies named on this list at blockbuster, husker.

I've even seen some of them on the "new releases" area but usually you find them burried in "documentaries".

1983's "Koyaanisqatsi"

With just pictures and music, this is a documentary of the human circumstance and dilemma of living in our technologically advanced civilization but a world on speed and LSD. The "2001" of documentaries (well, "2001" could be a future history documentary).

It does help to have a score by Phillip Glass, no less.
