Omnicide:
A few flicks we had to watch for our documentaries module when I did Film:


Don't Look Back - The original tour documentary, feauring Bob Dylan going nuts as he goes electric.

Got to agree with Capturing the Friedmans.

When We Were Kings- even if you have no interest in boxing whatsoever, and I don't, still a terrific film.

The Thin Blue Line- a murder solved by a documentary maker? More biased and tricksy than even Mike Moore, but still fascinating

One Day In September- Seen 'Munich'? Get tyhe real scoop here.

Solstice:
Oooh The Corporation was REALLY good IMO. I liked that one.

Also, Michael Moore Hates America is a fun little documentary. Its a good, mmm... counterpoint, in a way.

chupones:
My favorite documentary to watch is A Decade Under the Influence. If you have the chance, rent it.

I'd like to say Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine", but in his other movies he uses tactics that remove some of his credibility.  


thing i always seem to find about micheal moore stuff (particularly the newer books/films/tv appearences) is that while his heart often seems to be headed in the right direction he ruins it by spending far too much time stroking his own ego and using sensationalist cheapshots...which like you say, only goes to discredit some of the good stuff he's capable of.

Thank you.  It would be great if he just did his job and that was the end of it.  For example, some of the things he did in the "Awful Truth' were great, but he still managed to work his own ego in that.  

Aw well, we can't have our cake, and look at it, and paint a picture of it and eat too.
