Watched King of Kong last night thanks to someone on here's recommendation... That film is deep man, seriously deep. I had no idea what I was letting myself in for. I want Walter Day to be my uncle.

Whether or not you like Motorhead, this is just a really well made doc in general that is way beyond simple fanboy shit - you come away questioning the whole rock star thing a little bit. Lots of poignant & profound moments, plus great, funny anecdotes about a guy whose life has been stranger than fiction in many ways.

King of Kong blew my mind! Proper dedication there, although those weird ass licker nerds where a bit freaky.

particle-jim wrote:Anything on BBC4 that has a really boring looking title will probably be surprisingly entertaining and informative, recently watched "the golden age of coach travel" which sounds dry as fuck but BBC4 documentaries have a habit of tieing in the social/economic/political history of the time, for example in the coach travel doc there was a quite a bit on 'new-age traveller' families in the 80s having a massive run in with the law where all their coaches got smashed up and the police generally acted like complete bastards, was genuinely interesting and i'd have never know about it if i hadn't have watched what at face value seemed like a really boring documentary

Was mentioned in the documentary thread, but it's a slow day at the office in between meetings so am putting my feet up and kicking back with this...

Also found these;

Word Wars - competitive Scrabble players. Weird.

King Corn - industrialisation of the corn industry in the States. Surprisingly interesting.

Riding Giants - surfers & surf culture (first part, others are on YouTube)

Enron: Smartest Guys In The World - Enron story.

Why We Fight - the rise and maintenance of the United States military-industrial complex and its involvement in the wars led by the United States during the last fifty years, and in particular in the 2003 Invasion of Iraq.

searching for sugar man - Two South Africans set out to discover what happened to their unlikely musical hero, the mysterious 1970s rock 'n' roller, Rodriguez.

you've been trumped - In this David and Goliath story for the 21st century, a group of proud Scottish homeowners take on celebrity tycoon Donald Trump as he buys up one of Scotland's last wilderness areas to build a golf resort.

watch both recently, enjoyed both

Welcome to India - Brilliant BBC documentary following ordinary people doing their ting in India. There's no distance like you get in some documentaries, no sense of "look at these crazeeee Indians" - just some people getting on with their lives in ways I would never have dreamt of.

It's on the iPlayer for any Brits; http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... Episode_1/

There's definitely a lot of money in drugs.. I'll have look at some of these docs for sure.

Watched The Battle Of Chernobyl recently, was very interesting. It gave loads of info that was never released to the general public until just a few years ago.
For instance I never knew that there had almost been a second explosion that would've been so enormous that it would've made all of Europe inhabitable.
