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

a reply to: ShadesOfGreen

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 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Too bad a lot of the links seem to be outdated, and a lot of them are just names with no links.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.
