Can't Get You Out Of My Head - Adam Curtis

Anything from Adam Curtis is solid gold

Nice one, here's a playlist for curtis

this looks good but im having trouble viewing it. is there anywhere else but the bbc website

Here is hypernormalisation

Murder Mountain - Netflix

Easily the best documentary mini series I've seen in years. And I watch a lot of them. Fascinating if you're interested in the cannabis business, and murder....and weird isolated communities, and loads more.

Just incredible. Seen it 3 times and might watch it again.

Tiger King on Netflix is also pretty good although didn't need to be as long as it was. Seemed to be dragged out over too many episodes.

Cheers BB

Yes, (Murder Mountain) I need to watch that again. Started casually watching that and then couldn't believe what I was watching. Tiger King is fun to watch, but Murder Mountain should just as much credit or hype.

Vice documentaries

or documentaries by Louis Theroux

i actually have a feeling Louis Theroux is a user here!!

somewhere suspiciously looking for the good stuff

Hahaha and asking a lot of (not so) innocent questions I guess.

Thanks mate

lol yeah suspiciously not so innocent jokes

Peace brother

Yeah, that one is crazy. Loved that one.

the Q anon documentary on HBO especially for learning about fred brennan

Learning the identity of Q wasnt bad either, this is important journalism that happens to have amazing characters.

If you are at all interested in hip hop, check out the BBC Four series "Hip Hop - The Songs That Shook America". I only saw one episode so far, but there are some amazing interviews, old footage and stories.

The new Netflix doc about Biggie is pretty good too.

didn't rate it tbh, didn't think it did the best job of telling his story and jumped around too much. Found it tedious to watch at times imo. I'm a big biggie fan so had high hopes

These new BBC nature docs are great if you have a 4K tv ;) I just got one. The last tv I bought was a cube, so it’s amazing picture ;)

Yeah being high and watching nature docs in 4k is so intense :-)

Icarus
The Octopus Teacher
Murder mountain

Yeah Icarus is amazing. I am not sure if a saw The Octopus Teacher, I saw a couple about Octupus and they are amazing creatures. Thanks I will check it

Can't Get You Out of My Head

That looks really interesting. Thanks

The war we don't see- john pilger

Hands On a Hardbody: Amazing documentary about a competition to win a car. 24 people compete by keeping their hand on the car and being the last one standing. Sleep deprivation, insanity, giggles and heartbreak ensue.

The Decline Of Western Civilization: There's 3 of these. The second one is the funniest. In parts it's like a real-life Spinal Tap.

Heavy Metal Parking Lot: This is on Youtube and is only like 10 minutes long. But it's about the carpark scene at a Judas Priest concert. Mullets and questionable characters abound.

Project Grizzly: Mad man tries to invent a suit that will allow him to survive a grizzly bear attack. He ends up looking like Robocop. One of the funniest documentaries ever made.

American Movie: Amateur filmmaker is trying to get his horror movie made over multiple years. Follows him and his cast (locals/family) and the terrible movie they make.

Awesome. Thx

If you haven't seen One Day in September, check it out. It's about the hostage situation at the Munich Olympics. A story of misplaced political activism/terrorism and the mind-blowing incompetence by the authorities who were tasked with handling it. Or, The Fog of War, in which Robert McNamara - late US Secretary of Defence - talks candidly about America's devious role in many 20th Century events.

Yeah good one. The Fog of War: need to check that one out.
And "mind-blowing incompetence by the authorities"? Just turn on the news 0_o

Ha! Yeah, I guess nothing changes.

The Game Changers

Turned me into asparagus- eating caw :)

Yes! Loved that - not totally Vegan but loved the way they showed Meat = muscles

I must admit, I am a die hard carnivore. But that doc did make me think about eating less meat too. Check Joe Rogan podcast too with the doc maker. Very interesting.

The same here- ended up eating less meat just because I started eating more veg :) Not a black/white path though as there are A LOT of poor quality "vegan"-labelled products with tonnes of salt and things that are much worse than meat.

Was just about to say, totally agree - Vegan doesnt mean healthy. We got wrapped up in Beyond meat etc etc but you check the ingredients and most contain methylcellulose and other synthetic products that we are not totally clear on how they effect your body - stick to vegetables, fruits and if anything you buy has less that 5 ingredients in it, you are on to a winner 🙏🏽

Ever bit of change will help :-)

Jiro: Dreams of Sushi - incredible cinematography but not one to help with the munchies!

Read the book a last year, LB needs a John Roberts to spice things up a bit lol

'Fourteen Days In May' on BBC iPlayer.

Its from the 80s and followins a death row inmates final 2 weeks leading up to his execution date. Very powerful documentary, will stay with you gor a while after watching.

ULC

I read a suggestion that the popularity of BBC nature documentaries (particularly Attenbrough) in the USA has great correlation with legalised weed.

Almost anything from Storyville.

I’ve been watching ‘The Innocence files’ decent that. So was ‘the nightstalker’

U.S had to turn back on a nuclear bombing mission to Cairo in 1967 after Israel navy torpedo hit USS Liberty. It's mental !

All NOVA docs

True! One of my favorite NOVA docs is Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial.

Have a look at the ihavenotv website, they have plenty of great docs for free

What a fantastic recommendation. Cheers for that.
Some of the stuff on there is fascinating.... especially after a nice vape. :-)==~

Haven't logged in to netflix for a while ahaha

cheers bro

Not brand new but still, unique way to make documentary. full movie also available, engrossing. The Tower.

Love this thread, some real gems here.

2 additions.

Street Food Asia.
Good food and good gear go hand in hand. Watching these mostly old timers make simple things so well, some of them finally got Michelin stars for it. Great cinematography and storytelling.

Hannibal Buress Goes To Scotland.
Love this guy already, but this is an insight into the real highs and lows of the working life of a comedian as he does Edinburgh Festival for the first time.

the tiger woods doco on hbo, incredible story

Thanks I will check that out too.

Anything made by Ken Burns. Anything by Storyville or the best documentary ever made "Death of a state."

Ah so many, just finished "Being Human" on Youtube - thats a 3 part series.

Are we talking just series or documentaries?

Jurassic Park
