Awesome Yoda :up:

Seen 53, i'm planning on watching Hearts and MInds, Night and Fog and Salesman soon.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Documentaries Countdown

53...that's impressive Camo. I've only seen 19. It's easy to see the influence of the Doc Hof on the list, which is a good thing.

#84 & #90 are listed as the same movie. #90 is this and #84 is this.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Documentaries Countdown

Must've copied the wrong ID. Thanks. Should be fixed in a minute (some of you may have to go back and re-submit those ones).

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Documentaries Countdown

Wuhuu, 15 out of 100!

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Documentaries Countdown

Spellbound is listed as 1945, as in Hitch's film, not the doc.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Documentaries Countdown

42 for me. Lots of watching to do.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Documentaries Countdown

There are the correct two Jackass movies now, but they're in the wrong [switched] positions. :) #90 is this and #84 is this

Yoda god dammit!

Too fast you are. Incorrect you make it. Frustrated we become.

GAH. You're all terrible people.

Should be fixed in five.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Documentaries Countdown

Actually seen 55. The Jackass films must have not scored off because Yoda was changing it or something.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Documentaries Countdown

Yeah, anyone who checked those off might have to re-submit.

Sorry it took so long: parsing script didn't work so I had to do a lot of the work by hand. Hopefully it's all sorted now, but there's a 5% chance some of you might have to resubmit the ones you check off if I missed something. Also, you guys really screwed me by including something that's technically a TV show. :p I'll have to work around that later.

Thanks, Yoda. Glad we could make it difficult for you!

I recently watched The Pearl Button. Definitely worth watching, especially if you're a fan of Patricio Guzman (The Battle of Chile, Nostalgia of the Light). He really should have been represented in the Top 100. Oh well.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Documentaries Countdown

I watched the amazing OJ; Made in America recently. Might have allowed it for the countdown since we had other ESPN 30 for 30 entries. It's well worth the long run time and could have made my list. Highly recommended.

I also watched Alex Gibney's new documentary Zero Days. Also recommended.
