Documentaries...the next Countdown List?

I'm totally fine with Harry or Gatsby. Perhaps they can arm wrestle for the privilege of slaving away over a hot spread sheet

Hey Rules, you'll have to fill me in... what does joining entail.

You'll try to send in a list of your top 25 documentaries numbered 1-25. There really is no obligation because we've done several of these lists and nobody ever joined anything beforehand. The lists wlll probably be due in 5-6 months, but more info will be forthcoming.

Hey Capt, sorry for the late reply, but yes to what MarkF said...There's no commitment at all, it's just a numbered list which is your voting ballot, easy peasy. The deadline won't be for many, many months. There will be an official Documentary Top 100 Countdown thread made at some point. Right now we don't even know who is going to run it.

The Top 100 Countdown is a long standing board tradition. We just finished the 1960s, before that was the 70s....It's fun to submit a list and then follow along as the Top 100 films are revealed.

Captain if use this link and go down to forum wide lists you can read the countdowns we've done if you're interested - http://www.movieforums.com/community...ad.php?t=31343

I don't think this is the bbusername code

So Gatsby, you gonna do this thing or what?

Monique is thinking about running the Documentaries Countdown.

Don't worry I will do it.

Then, mysteriously, this ends up in first place:

Neither of you two can be trusted with anything. Ever.

No, I'm letting Monique run it, because she's pissed off about me not giving her a box of chocolates.

I'm serious about not doing it though, I'm not the type of person who runs stuff, I prefer to causally watch the show unfold. Anyone here could do a great job running the list.

Good grief you all are so lazy. I hate you all. Since it looks like it's either me or this thing dies then I'm guessing it's me. Unless we want it to die? Again, I hate you all.

Anyway, if you're going to participate please vote here: http://www.movieforums.com/community...ad.php?t=42841

I would participate but I have only watched about 3 documentaries. They are black fish, secrets of henry viii palace and planet earth.

that's 10

Gray Gardens and Dior and I are just two of the documentaries I could mention. Always I'm looking for a good documentary. I would definitely participate.

Not seen Dior but Grey Gardens is a fascinating documentary.

christine- There are two versions of Gray Gardens : One is a straight up documentary with filming of the actual women. Is this the one you watched ? The other is a movie starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lang. Drew Barrymore's portrayal of " little Edie " is flawless.

Both Grey Gardens are excellent. I watched the movie first then the documentary, which worked well for me.
