    Wow. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'll definitely be looking for some of these.

    We watched Murderball and Trekkie's in class so I can't do those.

    The Corporation, The Smartest Guy in the Room and Super Size Me all seem really interesting to me.

    Once again, thanks. I really appreciate the input.

    Muderball is GREAT.
    Control Room is also an interesting movie.

    HATED Crumb.

    I was going to suggest Control Room as well. It is fascinating.

    Paradise Lost

    it's about these three metal heads in a small town accused of murder...only b/c of their music preference. it's very good.

    This is a great film.


    Trekkies and the Hitman Hart are good as well. Trekkies 2 follows the same phenomenon in Europe.

    Okie Noodling has to be one of the craziest things I've seen.

    And if you haven't seen Grizzly Man, you should. The film presents a moving portrait of a man that crosses lines that shouldn't be crossed.

    Bill Simmons gives this movie a 10 on the unintentional comedy scale. He says its almost like Spinal Tap.

    It almost feels like it. The guy is out there in the wilderness doing his own thing, and he's out there in alot of other ways. As insane as he comes off though, he has shot some of the most unbelievable footage you will ever see. The footage of his interaction with wild foxes is jaw dropping.

    "Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control" by Errol Morris. Don't think you could write a paper on it, but watch it anyway. Great film.

    Word!

    When We Were Kings (about the Ali-Foreman "Rumble in the Jungle") is also outstanding...

    Beat me to it!

    This was an excellent movie!

    "They Shoot Horses Don't They?" is another good one.
