So I have to write this 4-5 page paper for a writing class over my choice of a film that can be defined as a documentary. When I first heard of the project, I was like, "Sweet! Year of the Yao! Easy!" but it's not out yet. So my question is, do any of you guys have any documentaries you particular enjoyed that I could write about, or if there was any... um... alternate way of acquiring Year of the Yao. Thanks.
Ditto on Grizzly Man. I saw some story about it but I haven't seen the movie itself and it looks pretty good.
Some good documentaries in recent years have been: Fog of War- You can probably write about this documentary the most. Its fairly easy and controversial topic. Spell Bound- about spelling bees Grizzly Man- not much to discuss/debate on this film My Architect- About a famous architect( Louis Kahn), not much to discuss though Enron: The Movie- Interesting subject. Hard to come up with an interesting thesis for a subject such as this Fahrenheit 911- most ppl will probably choose this Super Size Me- about McDonald's. Would be fun to write about Loose Change 911- If you really want to upset the establishment, write about this. Capturing the Friedmans- I have it. Haven't seen it yet. One of the most talked about documentaries in recent years.
the docu we were shown in film class was, mr death. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0192335/ it was interesting, but not the most entertaining documentary, to say the least.
If you're a racing fan of any kind, Dust to Glory was pretty cool... though the narration was in dire need of a Morgan Freeman fix. And don't forget March of the Penguins.
Hitman Hart: Wrestling with Shadows saw it the other night .....best DOC i've seen, and i've never even big a huge wrestling guy
the last two i saw were Spellbound - phenomenal and incredibly interesting, although I was one of those drones once so I suppose I can relate more personally March of the Penguins - Morgan Freeman's voice literally makes an interesting movie into a national hit. Something about it draws audiences.
