Whats the last great documentary you saw?

Cosmos. Both. I love the voice of Carl and charism of Neil.

Knuckle, a rather peculiar but fascinating look at Irish Traveler bare-knuckle fighting.

Sound City

It was probably Life Itself, the Roger Ebert documentary. I've seen it twice; the first time I saw it was in early July when it had just been released, and the second time was earlier this week in my media class (we're studying print journalism). I actually cried the first time I saw it. I'd never done that before, at least not because of a movie.

Circus- It's the only documentary I've purchased and watched multiple times...but I'm biased because I've always been fascinated by the circus!

Watch it.



It's "online" now.

Meltdown!

Smile Pinki (2008)!

Don't watch a ton of them, but one I did catch recently was "Once In A Lifetime: The Story Of The New York Cosmos", and I found that to be very enjoyable.

Absolutely it

I love documentaries, but still I rarely watch them...

The last great one I saw was 'Paradise Lost 2: Revelations'. I thought it was a nice although much more crazy and strange follow-up. The third one, however, I thought was unneccesary... It was like they felt a need to make it because of what happened, but there really wasn't enough material for a full documentary.

I'm watching this right now... I didn't know much about scientology before, except that it's pretty crazy but it's actually really ridiculous.

UNLV Runnin' Rebels (Basketball Doc on HBO) - These last few years have produced some amazing sports documentaries, even of college basketball as I prefer the NBA.. Loved Jerry Tarkanian, always defended his players, gave everyone a chance, especially players with less than perfect lives. And they won a title.. I love he always fought back, and in 98', he beat the NCAA, as they only went after small schools (they'd never go after Duke, etc.)

A couple, actually:

Citizenfour (Poitras, 2014)

Going Clear : Scientology & the Prison of Belief (Gibney, 2015)
