Teresa never did get it fixed, but here's what she meant to say--interesting! Thanks! (I cut and pasted and it shows up in the window, but when I submit, it disappears???) Oh well. :) Here is what I wrote: |

I haven't seen most of these, but I will definitely look out for them. I did see SuperSize Me and March of the Penguins--March WAS long and drawn out. I like the other documentaries the guy that SuperSize did--esp the tv series--I think it was called 30 Days. |

I really liked March of the Penguins. I took my daughter to the theatre to see it, and she really liked it, too. We now have it on dvd. SuperSize Me impacted me big time, too. It reinforced what I already knew about the fast food industry. This movie helped make fast-food unattractive in a way that my willpower never could.

I'm a huge documentary buff! Lesser known ones: -Jesus Camp is AMAZING. It's a real life horror movie when you realize people like this actually exist =X It's not biased at all, but it makes these people look crazy. -Religilous with Bill Maher is great. He speaks the truth, very biased towards atheism (my kind of movie). -For the Bible Tells me so is about gay people and the church, it was my kind of slant, which is why it was good for actual reasons, not comedy ones. -Hell House (just watched last night), was entertaining. Less so than the above mentioned ones, but it's worth a watch if you're not religious and want a good laugh. -Earthlings is alright, HUGE animal rights slant. I agree with some parts of it, while others are too extreme for my tastes. Be warned, you see animals getting put to sleep, quite sad. -Food Inc., really informative about where your food comes from. -This Movie is not yet rated (I believe that's the name), very good look at how and why movies are rated the way they are. More main stream ones: -ANYTHING by Michael Moore. He's a genius when it comes to this genre. -Super-size me, very interesting indeed. -Inconvienent Truth, completely worth a watch. I've seen so many more, but these are the only ones I can think of now. |

Nice thing to discover is that I can watch many on Netflix and decide if I really need to get the dvd. Many of my favorite ones, such as the three Zeitgeist films and The Great Culling are available on YouTube. Secrets of the Vatican Greedy Lying Bastards Slavery by Another Name I've posted a list of documentaries available in the Bazaar. Last Edited on: 6/24/23 9:38 AM EST - Total times edited: 2 |
