Well I have to agree Planet Earth is one of the best I have ever seen. I saw the special Oprah had on it and bought the whole series of 11 DVDs. These is something you can watch with your whole family for hours. I also have Al Gores documentary on global warming and I have to say that everyone should watch that as well.

My favourite documentary is Lost in La Mancha (Keith Fulton & Louis Pepe, 2002), the making of a film never made. It shows all the production process of the Terry Gillian's project "The man who kills Don Quijote". They had so many troubles and they couldn't finish the movie. Very interesting.

It has always been difficult for me to narrow down any genre of film to just one, so here are my top 5, as I'm feelin' 'em today (meaning, the order could easily change at a later date):

5. Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse - With events like rented military helicoptors being called off during a scene of Apocalypse Now, so they can go engage in an actual combat for an actual war that was going on at the time & then Martin Sheen having a heart attack between shooting scenes, all happening during the filming of this movie, the true story of how this movie was made is almost as surreal & engaging as actual the movie itself.

4. Jesus Camp - Back when I was a kid, I was sent to a Jesus camp for one summer.
I even earned a badge for being able to whistle thru my stigmatas.

3. Streetwise - An emotionally wrenching ending, because it's real life & not a script. This film focuses those who are easily forgotten & brings to the surface their reality & all the drama & emotion that the world of escapism entertainment can never really compare to.

2. 42 & Up- Taking the film segments of the various people chosen for this project as children & watching 'em up against the segments of them as adults, it's almost spooky on it's perspective & can beg the question, at what point in life do humans lose the expressionisms of freespiritness than naturally comes with being a child & become the more restrained walking representive of a crushed spirit that many adults can easily end up as?

1. Anne Frank Remembered - As with everyone else, sometimes, it gets pretty easy for me to forget how good I really have it in life. Every time I watch this movie, & hear the part when Anne writes in her diary of her waiting for things to get back to normal, as a viewer who knows that for her it never will, it serves as a great reminder to me that not taking things for granted is an act of appreciation that should never wait until tomorrow. The footage included that is the only existing footage of Anne, only serves to enhance the importance of this lesson of gratitude.

The Presitage. i love this one~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm going to watch Fast food nation.
I've just seen Supersize me that i like.
It's well-done and interesting the experiment of the actor on hisself.
Good the capability of talking about all the aspect connected to the fastfood and not only about mcdonalds.
I hope that people see this movie and open their eyes...

I loved Supersize Me. When my sisters first suggested it, i said no. But they kept telling me to watch it, and when i finally did i was glad i watched it. Was very interesting. Hasnt stopped me eating mcdonalds though :P

Darius Goes West: The Roll of his Life

I saw this at AFI Dallas film festival in 2007. It took home audience choice award there. It is incredible. I just got my copy last week and am waiting for my family to get in town for labor day so I can show it to them. Its awesome.
