Metal: a headbangers journey
Its fun , informative, full of great interviews , Dio especially. Then theres fucking Gorgoroth lead singer my god thats the most cringe hilarious interview ever.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Love Me

About mail-order brides and the companies behind them. Well, one particular company but it's a really good look at the realities of the "industry." Super desperate/emotionally-stunted guys, professional daters stringing guys along for money, organized crime involvement, and cheesy/sleazy companies who facilitate everything.

I havent seen a ton of documentaries but maybe the most moving one ive seen was "Dear Zachary" from 2008. It'll make you angry but its truly riveting. The events are actually unfolding as its being filmed so as a viewer you are along for the ride with the film maker. They actually changed a law in Canada over the incidents in this movie.

Wild Wild Country

I liked adbudcted in plain sight and the docuseries the staircase.

Also mommy dead and dearest was very good.

I don't watch a lot of TV but really liked Unchained about freestyle motocross. I've raced dirt bikes all my life. Was too big to compete so story resonated with me. Wannabes and has beens like me, started a whole new sport

RIP Jeremy Lusk and others in making this film.

There's really no way to explain it, you just have to watch it.

From my own family experience, when someone says that, it’s awesome

 

[Slick_36]

Not the best documentary necessarily, but I would recommend Budo: the Art of Killing to the other Sherdoggers.

 

[HenryFlower]

It's creepy.

this one is a great example of someone following the thread of what is already an interesting subject on its own, but stumbling in real time into a story far more layered and intriguing as a result of following that original thread.

 

[crabmeat]

I recommend this to anyone that's interested in Cold War nostalgia.

 

[Contempt]

It's been a long while since I watch any good docus

So ?

Idiocracy.

If you want to at least scratch the surface of understanding what is wrong with society today.
