I like documentary's - great thread.

Almost forgot - hard to find - difficult to watch but brilliant - "Triumph of the Will" by Leni Reisenthal

I'm not sure if it's available on Netflix anymore but "God Grew Tired of Us" is really amazing to watch. It's a huge eye opener to what we really have available to us in America, how greedy and selfish we truly are.

From imdb.com,
"Four boys from Sudan embark on a journey to America after years of wandering Sub-Saharan Africa in search of safety."

Surprised this thread is still current . I'll add more to the list:

Spiritual Revolution
I Am
Zeitqeist Moving Forward (best of the series BY FAR)
Samsara
Surviving Progress
Waking Life

Yes that was an amazing documentary. Great to show the effect of culture shock and the differences between our lifestyles and those of third world countries. It also showed, to me at least, that a country's GDP does not correlate with that country's happiness.

One of my favs is
THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS..
Its old and a bit slow to get into, but the experiments are really cool..

Here is a good one...

I know what I saw
UFOs THE BEST EVIDENCE: The Visitors

I was just going to make a thread like this, to have fellow members share with me some of the documentaries they enjoy.

Too bad a lot of the links seem to be outdated, and a lot of them are just names with no links. Anyway if anyone wants to share links to documentaries to watch that would be great. I'll add a couple here I've enjoyed the past couple nights with my insomnia:

Searching for Sugar Man- a documentary about a failed American musician Rodriguez who was an icon in South Africa

An Inconvenient Truth - It is a wonderfully devastating documentary about global warming that opened my eyes to environmental issues

A Map for Saturday - Every time I watch this, it makes me wanna pack my bags and explore the world. Awesome backpacking documentary.

Jackie (2016) . Really liked!

While it's not a documentary, the secret life of plants (the book by Peter Tompkins & Peter Bird) is an amazing, eye-opening read. IF you read it, you're never going to look at plants exactly the same way. a reply to: FoxxiRoxxi

There are a LOT of truly great eye & mind-opening documentaries listed here! Nice thread. Here's a few of my own that I love: All Wars are Banker's Wars www.youtube.com... The American Dream www.youtube.com... It can't happen here by Larken Rose www.youtube.com... JFK to 9/11 Everything is a rich man's trick www.youtube.com... Rupert Sheldrake the science delusion www.youtube.com... Must See!! Agenda 21 for Dummies i.ytimg.com...

A lot of the above but also add:

Life after people - it's a series of doc's looking at different impacts to the world (plants and animals, structures etc if people suddenly disappeared )
www.imdb.com...

Impossible Engineering

Supersized Structures

Idiocracy

the deliberate dumbing down of AmericaIsn't it sad how prophetic that's becoming?! Never before in the history of our civilization has it been easier and cheaper to get a good education and yet the rise of ignorance is almost epidemic amongst far too many! Of course, THIS has a LOT to do with it though!

The Last Waltz, a documentary about the preparation and some of the last performance of Robbie Robertson's The Band.

An Inconvenient Sequel, by Al Gore. An important documentary but its most inconvenient feature is the lack of references (his books, also).

20 Feet From Stardom, a documentary film about back-up singers that most people nowadays watch on NetFlix. Even watching it a second time with my family (because they hadn't seen it) was absolutely spell-binding. I couldn't look away from the screen.

Imagine, also John and Yoko's Year of Peace.

Funky little macrobiotic cooking demonstrations, like the one of Aveline Kushi.

Supersize Me, by the one and only Morgan Spurlock.

Many alternative health documentaries by Gary Null, PhD, the Academy Award-nominated documentary filmmaker, author, and radio show host. One of his most recent is about the high number of US patient deaths due to medical or hospital mistakes.

I kinda like the "Cancer is big business".

It's maddening.
