Documentaries

According to the side bar, I have watched 35 documentaries since this all began. I don't believe that is an accurate portrayal of how many I have actually watched because I sometimes forget to add them after I watch them. I also have a hard time determining what is a documentary and what isn't. Is a 30 minute documentary a documentary? What if it has been on TV? Are reality TV shows documentaries?

Any which way, I love documentaries. I love social ones, political ones, scientific ones, and bizarre ones. Below is a list of some great documentaries. Check them out if you have a chance:

1) Stevie- One of the saddest and most disturbing movies I have ever seen. Not a feel good movie at all. Not recommended to any one in the Big Brother and Big Sister organization.

2) This Film is Not Yet Rated- A look into the film rating system. It is full of humor and very smart. Shows the hypocrisy in the American film rating system.

3) Helvetica- All about the font.

4) Very Young Girls- Many young women are forced into prostitution. This film documents girls trying to get out and their stories in New York.

5) Bigger, Stronger, Faster- Steroids. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

That's five. Not necessarily my favorites of all time, but some solid, good films. Check them out.

    I haven't seen Helvetica or Very Young Girls, but I've seen the others and they are great.

    I see "Fade to Black" isn't on this list! Have you watched it yet? Maybe you haven't, or maybe you have and didn't think it was list-worthy.

    H-to-the-iz-O, V-to-the-iz-A.
