Keith Houchen Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Guardian writers pick their top ten documentaries.. There are links to other top tens in there. Quote
Guy Bifkin Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Has anyone watched Room 237, the documentary about The Shining yet? The Shining is probably in my all time top ten and easily my favourite horror film, but boy, some people have really thought about it a bit too much. Whilst I Quote
Keith Houchen Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Cheers, Guy. I was going to watch that at some point. Probably after "The Act Of Killing" which I recorded last night. Watched the start and knew I would be upset by it. I didn't need that before bed so watched a ten minute free view to lighten the mood. Quote
Rey_Piste Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Currently watching Get Thrashed: The Story Of Thrash Metal on Youtube, which is great fun to watch for an old metalhead like myself. http://youtu.be/sWYQP8lJH00 Quote
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted January 9, 2014 Paid Members Posted January 9, 2014 Currently watching Get Thrashed: The Story Of Thrash Metal on Youtube, which is great fun to watch for an old metalhead like myself. http://youtu.be/sWYQP8lJH00 I have really eclectic taste in music but 80s Thrash Metal is the one type I'd say is my favourite above all. I really like this documentary but there's one thing that taints it for me; I love all the archive footage and people who were on the scene first hand talking about it, if they'd kept it at that it would be an in depth and timeless look at the 80s Thrash scene. Unfortunately they have some really shit talking heads from when the documentary was made putting their 2 cents in and some modern crowd footage too. Hearing Tom Araya and Scott Ian talk about Thrash is great and informative, hearing Kittie talk about it just dates it horribly and really takes me out of the zone. Quote
Rey_Piste Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 What's weird is it's from 2008, so Kittie and Godsmack were hardly relative at that time, but it's obviously older interview footage a lot of the time. Since you see stuff like Kerry King's beard isn't that long same goes for Scott Ian's, so judging by that the footage is from about 5/6 years earlier. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 3, 2014 Author Paid Members Posted May 3, 2014 ive recently got a hold of the whole new selectiom of HBO documentaries thats aired in America, not seen any yet but there looks to be some good stuff included. Quote
Stylin_and_Profilin Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 A documentary on Drew Struzan and his work. That looks fantastic although it doesn't seem to have a release date yet Have been eagerly waiting for this for well over a year now. Looks like it's getting a DVD release at the end of November and probably onto iTunes as well so hopefully not too much longer before we can see it. Finally been released after god knows how long a delay. Torrents floating about online if you are looking for it. Quote
Paid Members chokeout Posted May 5, 2014 Paid Members Posted May 5, 2014 Think I mentioned in the DVDs thread. It randomly turned up on US netflix a few months ag and managed to see it then. Great doc with some great talking heads and insight into his work ( even if he does come across as a bit of a prick at times). Quote
Paid Members Fox Piss Posted May 18, 2014 Paid Members Posted May 18, 2014 Stumbled across a doc on Netflix called "Give Up Tomorrow" Didn't have high expectations since it didn't even have a Wikipedia page and only around 100+ people rated it on IMDB yet IT'S FUCKING INCREDIBLE. It's honestly Paradise Lost on speed. Well worth checking out but not reading up beforehand. Quote
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted June 16, 2014 Paid Members Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) Subscribed to Netflix again and I noticed the US version has all the excellent "ESPN: 30 for 30" documentaries. A bloody goldmine. What one should I start with? I remember bubbling watching the "Without (Len) Bias" one which is probably the only time I'll ever cry about Basketball.

Magnum Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Not sure if this has been mentioned in the thread yet, but I just got through Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States. It's Oliver Stone, so the politics of it will appeal more to those who, like me, don't have a particularly high opinion of America's foreign policy or leaders in the first place, but it's also not very informative about some of the perhaps more genuinely 'heroic' figures on the fringes of American history. On a similar note, does anyone know where I can find an English language/subtitled version of either Comandante or The Last Yugoslavian Football Team? I've been looking for these two for ages, but the only ones I can find have French/Spanish subs. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 16, 2014 Author Paid Members Posted June 16, 2014 yep it's worth getting on the US Netflix for the documentary section...especially the 30 for 30 series. I'll get on that Give Up Tomorrow doc. too! Quote
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted June 18, 2014 Paid Members Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) I'm not into Basketball, but those ESPN 30:for:30 documentaries about it are absolutely staggeringly good. Does anybody know where I could get that documentary about the American Samoa football team? I don't believe it will ever be released over here. Edited June 18, 2014 by bAzTNM#1 Quote
