Gimme an idea of some of your favorite documentaries. I'm a huge documentary buff, so I'm always looking for new ones that I may not have seen before. I appreciate everything from Food, Inc. to The Cove to the LIFE and Planet Earth series, and everything from The Human Experience, Smartest Men in the Room to Cocaine Cowboys. There's not really any genre that's off limits.. I love em all.

So, whatcha got?

And because I'm asking this question, I should probably give a suggestion. 9/11 documentaries seem to have become a genre all to themselves, and in that realm, 102 Minutes That Changed America is one of the best I've seen. It's not a conspiracy theory, either. Just a collection of raw and mostly never-before-seen footage from that day in and around NYC. Very powerful stuff in that film.

And other doco's that everyone should see:

Man on Wire

Exit through the Gift Shop

Restrepo

Dear Zachary (though be warned this one will mess you up)

I Think We're Alone Now is one of the most bizarre movies/documentaries/anything I've ever seen:

This documentary feature by director Sean Donnelly follows the adventures of two obsessed fans, 50 year old Asperger's sufferer Jeff Turner, and 35-year-old intersex person Kelly McCormick who claim to be in love with 80's teen-pop heartthrob Tiffany. With both humor and with sometimes heartbreaking sensitivity, Donnelly explores the lonely lives of these two people, classified by many as stalkers.

It's not really intellectually fulfilling or even entertaining so much as it is a tour de force of weirdness.

Dear Zachary is probably one of the most difficult things to watch.

my sister made me watch the tail end of it and said it fuged her up for a couple days after seeing it...

These are two docs that EVERYONE needs to watch:

The Inside Job

Food, Inc.

those 30/30 are exceptional, too.

Food, Inc. was good. My friend started eating all the "only grass fed, local cows, etc" so she wanted me to watch it.

Yeah, poo is fuged up and you learn a lot about the food industry and how everything is controlled.....but I still love yummy burgers and chickaaan

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      2025 Schedule Release - post 'em when you find 'em

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
