strangebrew Posted May 26, 2011 Just a couple of oldies I've been rewatching but they are both timeless and probably on youtube by now. Joseph Campbell's The Power of Myth Chomsky's The Manufacturing of Consent - about bias in the media we are fed. If you've ever tried reading Chomsky and just couldn't get past the dense wall of facts in his books the doco is a good intro. P.S. There wasn't enough music in "DIG!" Anton is God OK but you wouldn't know it from that film. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sapito Posted June 17, 2011 Not a must-see but quite interesting. Choosing to Die In a frank and personal documentary, author Sir Terry Pratchett considers how he might choose to end his life. Diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2008, Terry wants to know whether he might be able to end his life before his disease takes over. Travelling to the Dignitas Clinic in Switzerland, Terry witnesses first hand the procedures set out for assisted death, and confronts the point at which he would have to take the lethal drug.

dosileflynn Posted July 25, 2011 I actually really enjoy watching documentaries. a few that i really enjoyed lately are: Dr Burzynski: Cancer is Serious Business it's basically a documentary about Dr. Burzynski, a person who found a very promising alternant cancer treatment that has shown amazing results in treating what was previously believed by the medical industry to be " inoperable and incureable " forms of cancer. i.e. brain tumours etc. It also highlights some of the struggles and tribulations he has gone through in confronting what some would term a "conspiracy". next is one called " Restrepo " (search on top documentary films , or google, for a link) it's a documentary about the experience of soldiers in afghanistan , posted to a base known as " restrepo " where 30% of bombs dropped in the entire afghan war were dropped. it is a great documentary if one is interested in seeing what life is like for soldiers on the front line in a highly stressful and dangerous environment. Finally, another documentary called " Inside Job " (again search google for a link) it's a documentary that explains the origins of the global financial crisis in great detail, as well as an overview and analysis of the world economy. it is a very professionally made documentary and i highly recomend it to anyone who is interested in financial and economic matters pertaining to the GFC. I hope some of you enjoy these, i sure did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yawning Man Posted August 20, 2011 http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/food-matters/ Watched this last night. Bit of an eye opener, specially when it came to the mental health side of things. Anyone into alternative (or actual ) cancer cures should watch this. cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SunChaser Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) I just watched this one and I know herbal_hindsight posted this in his documentary list, but I thought I'd post an actual link to it, since it's an amazing theory and would have been easy to miss. There basically putting forth the idea that christianity evolved directly from the consumption of etheogens (particularly the amanita muscaria mushroom). The theory is very convincing to me and has a lot of evidence to back it up. Anyway, I highly recommended this documentary to anyone who has an interest in entheogens.

bogfrog Posted October 1, 2011 A doco I saw recently called The Voice was pretty amazing. similar concepts to What The Bleep Do We Know, but alot easier to get your head around. And I am a die hard David Attenborough fan, especially love his latest series called Life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solomon Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) A doco I saw recently called The Voice was pretty amazing. similar concepts to What The Bleep Do We Know, but alot easier to get your head around. And I am a die hard David Attenborough fan, especially love his latest series called Life. Lol @ what the bleep Attenborough is the man, you should check out his series on Madagascar. First Life is quite good too, you guys would love the trilobite fossils they show in that one I reckon. ... Biggie & Tupac - was good, Suge Knight is a scary dude. The Goddess Bunny doco that is out there is interesting. Louis Theroux - I'm sure his stuff has been mentioned already in this thread. Weird Weekends are my favs. Titicut Follies - really disturbing and pretty sad King Of Kong American Movie Jesus Camp Dark Days Grey Gardens How to Die in Oregon.....

MagicalMedic Posted October 3, 2011 Great thread.. I'm off to watch some doco's! Remember to put at least a little bit of what it;s about though if you recommend one otherwise ppl wont know if they might like the material Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
H.E. Pennypacker Posted October 3, 2011 Searching the thread with the phrases "pharmacopeia" and "Hamilton Morris" turns up nothing, but it's definitely worth mentioning here. The Sapo Diaries, Nzambi and a few other short documentaries he's made for VBS are pretty cool to watch. http://www.vbs.tv/nl-nl/watch/hamilton-s-pharmacopeia/the-sapo-diaries-1-of-3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J Smith Posted November 1, 2011 Just saw a 30 minute comedy documentary on abc2 called the bazura project, it presented a look at drugs in movies through history. Some interesting stuff that I'm gonna have to look into further. Episode 5 is what you want. http://www.abc.net.au/tv/programs/bazuraproject.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SunChaser Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) Anyone whos interested in numbers perfectly fitting together and signs of the end of world and all the rest of it will probably really enjoy this documentary. Its basically an alternative theory of why the pyramids were built. Very interesting. The Revelation Pyramids Also this is the best documentary Ive seen about medical cannabis in a while. In the last 10 minutes they talk about how they have actually been able to kill tumours in mice using cannabinoids. Absolutely amazing.

FancyPants Posted November 24, 2011 Lemmy: Doco/movie about Lemmy Kilmeister, hard rock n roll frontman of Motorhead. I knew bugger all about him (and Motorhead actually) but I love music and this was really interesting. He seems like a fascinating guy who I'd love to sit down, have some drinks and "I I I I" and chat for hours with him. 20: the Pearl Jam doco/movie was amazing too, lots of stuff I didn't know and of course wonderful music. Les Paul Story: Another fascinating guy, we have much to thank him for. Way ahead of his time musically and electro(magneto?)mechanically... whatever exact field it would be lol...
