I loved this doc. I feel like it kind of set off a string of docs that are more mysterious and use misdirection to entertain us instead of using straight talking heads. I absolutely love that approach and many of the docs on my list fall a bit into that category. I was glad to see it nominated and glad it won. Great HOF everyone. These specialty HOF are proving to be my favorites.

Thanks to Sean for running this; it was an exceptional Hall of Fame!

My list-

1. West of Memphis
2. The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness
3. Beauty Day

Deserving winner, my #3. Enron did slightly better than i thought as i expected it to be it or Food Inc last, just glad no one hated it. Great nominations all around the only one i disliked was Food Inc and that was only because i wasn't interested in the subject matter, it was very well made.

Congratulations to Thursday Next! and Thank You to Sean for running a fun HoFo!

ALL of the nominations were excellent choices, thanks guys for a great Hof! This has been one of my favorite Hofs

1 Triumph of the Will
2 The Wonderful Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl
3 The Imposter
4 Beauty Day
5 Last Train Home
6 Food Inc
7 West of Memphisp
8 Exit Through the Gift Shop
9 The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness
10 Baraka
11 Enron The Smartest Guys in the Room
12 Dear Zachary:A Letter to a Son About His Father

Notes: Triumph of the Will, my #1 vote was for the skill of the film maker Leni Riefenstahl, so my vote was for Leni. The subject matter of the film didn't influence me and I'm sure a lot of people said Nazis=last place.

I voted Zachary last for the same reason, I ignored the subject matter (which was dramatic and touching) and looked at the skill of the film maker and found it lacking.

Great job Sean!!!! Honestly, well done.

Damn, this is by far the lowest I ever ranked in one of these...

I'm glad Exit Through the Gift Shop won this, it was one of my favourites! Congratulaions Thursday Next!!!
