The MoFo Top 100 Documentaries Countdown

Haven't seen either, though I'll probably get around to watching March of the Penguins some day.

It seems like every nature doc I watch there's penguins in it. Penguins are played out. Still it's a decent doc.

Alright! Listen to Me Marlon was #19 on my list.

I've seen all eight, and I still think they're all worth watching, so that makes the bottom eight of this countdown probably the best for me.

I think March Of The Penguins is the first to show up to which my initial reaction a slightly disappointed "aw". It's ok it just.... It's such bollocks.

You got as high up at #19?!?!?!??!?! Well done, SC.

Didn't love March Of The Penguins but it has been ten years. I just always leave nature docs thinking "oh that was nice". Need to see Listen To Marlon, I have heard good things.

March of the Penguins is only the second i have seen, i don't remember it all that well since like Sean i watched it when it was just released but i do remember quite liking it at the time. The buzz around that doc was pretty massive at the time.

Really want to see Listen to Me Marlon. Hope that means another 2015 doc might make it.

March of the Penguins is kinda overrated IMO, but I guess it isn't fair to say that as I haven't seen the doc in many years.

Thought both of these would be higher,haven't seen the Brando one... but I watched March of the Penguins as a child, definitely submerged me at that age. I remember liking it quite a bit

My 5 year old daughter too. She's probably have it quite high on her list i imagine.

If they were part of the site, I'd be happy to have their votes. What I'd really like to see is two countdowns per genre. An initial countdown with lists put forward reflecting the sites choices. Then, five or six months down the line, after watching for the lists as some people do now, a revised list. I think it'd be interesting to see how things had changed.

At least your 5 year old didn't buy you The Expendables for Christmas last year. I'm hoping.

Well, no, I got Homer Simpson Donut socks

Hahahahaha!
Should all be fixed now. Expect the entries soon.
