The MoFo Top 100 Documentaries Countdown

Introducing: DNP Films On My List



Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage was my #1. This is a 1 hour and 30 minute doc about the entire story of my favorite band in the galaxy. Of course it's my numero uno. For those of you who want to watch 5 minutes of it, then shut it off, the doc is on YouTube.



The Kids Are Alright was my #5. Just couldn't leave out The Who.



Children Full of Life was my #8. Films or docs that show children in a honest and heartwarming way usually generate a positive review. My score goes up the better it does it, therefore this amazing doc is an easy



Lastly, The Pleasure of Finding Things Out was my #10. Richard Feynman is a genius that might teach you a thing or two.

Well, glad this all went well.


Well done Harry for getting it together and for the help in getting list sorted for me to do the graphics.


Seems like this has turned out similar to the Comics List in terms of numbers... just with less fighting on the threads lol!


Well done, Harry... was a pleasure to work with you on this one.

DAMN! "Never Sleep Again" came far more close to being on the list than I ever suspected. If only I had put it higher on my list. "I Am Divine" was another of mine that came close.

If it's spelled that way, I'm never bothering to send in another list for another countdown since you people can't be serious.

It's being spelled J2cka22

My goodness, Rodent -- you're getting into the "Ghostbusters" spirit ever since that new trailer came out.

I've gone purist. The proper Belushi-Slimer and a banner with the actual Mr Stay Puft and the four real Ghostbusters on it (Heh! Real Ghostbusters, get it?).

I forgot about the new Ghostbusters trailer. Better check it out now.

Eek! Pass.

Surely that is to be expected?

Yeah but there's always hope. To be fair I didn't know much (or anything) about it.

It's a new Ghostbusters. What else is there to know? Frankly, I'd rather this (whatever it is) than Ghostbusters 3, which has always been an awful idea to me.

I like that one a whole lot. First saw The Plagues & Pleasures on the Salton Sea at a film festival, and have been pushing it on people ever since. Narrated by John Waters, it is equally fascinating from both the ecological and sociological angles. And talk about the butterfly effect, Sonny Bono has a fatal skiing accident and the last hope for the Salton Sea dies with him.

One Day in September was one of the last handful I cut from my list, too.
