Yesterday I watched "180* South" (180 Degrees South) on Netflix - a guy is inspired by a film some surfers made as they travelled to the southern tip of South America. It was a life changing journey them, and became one for him as well.

Inocente - just won the Oscar for best documentary short film.

Can view it online at MTV.com (no, it's not Real World or Teen Mom): Inocente | MTV

It's about an artist who is a 15 year old homeless girl in San Diego.

Dogtown and Z-boys about the dogtown skaters--Alva, Peralta, Adams, etc.

Riding Giants--about big wave surfing

The Art of the Steal--about how the Barnes Trust and foundation was screwed out of its art collection

The King of Kong--about competitive video gamers

Hearts of Darkness--a documentary filmed by Coppola's wife during the filming of "Apocalypse Now"

Yes, loved Gigantic.

Also, Oscar winner this year, Searching for Sugar Man. Great film.

my friends GUSH over this one. they loved it.

Just watched the one about the bizmark. They had two German guys that were on the ship and surrvived

Conan O' Brien Can't Stop
Man On A Wire
The Thin Blue Line
Rendezvous
The Gossamer Albatross
Waiting For Superman
...scads of good doc's out there.

me and my wife (teacher) just watched "Waiting on Superman", excellent, but DO NOT watch it if you have kids in public schools and can't afford private school.

Oh, and you have to see the Queen of Versailles...

I posted about "The Prize" earlier. It's about the global quest for oil.
Here is a Youtube link. Very very timely, and interesting.

camp 14 total control zone

Queen of Versailles +1 Excellent film about the 1%'ers...."Mommie! Why are all these other people on the airplane?" (Kid had always flown in private jets, first time on a commercial flight) :-)

Anvil! The Story of Anvil +1 Was hooked in the first 45 seconds. Great for any music fan.

Shipbreakers (laborers in India who dismantle old ships...no rules, regulations...makes China's factories look like paradise).

Anvil was pretty great, almost like a real life Spinal Tap lol

This one I didn't see posted yet Narrated/hosted by Patrick Stewart about Stirling Moss watched it on Jalopnik I thought it was awesome!
Watch Sir Patrick Stewart

Whore's Glory on netflix

Surprised no one mentioned Lime Rock Park: The Secret Valley of Racing. Great independant documentary about the history of Lime Rock. It really captures the magic of LRP.

More info here: Chris Szwedo Productions

I invited Chris Szwedo to show his "Gullwing at Twilight" documentary at my PCA region's monthly meeting a few years back. Great down to earth guy - very passionate about his work, and a great artist as well.

and now for something totally different.

Against the Tide: The Story of the Acadian People

It wouldn't mean anything to most of you guys but if you might be interested in learning a little about the sad history of the early cajun people and all the tragedy and hardship they endured first at the hands of the french govt. then the british govt, the Spanish govt, French govt again the finally the US govt. before making a life in the swamp lands of Louisiana where no one else wanted to live. meaningless to you guys I'm sure but with a family history in louisiana going back to the mid1700's it choked me up bit. and you get to listen to some good cajun music too

the scene with them on the 2 lane bridge and also when they rode down the 2 lane blacktop past the old plantation shotgun houses before they were killed by the levee was shot here in my town 2-3 miles from my home. my old friend lived in the one house with the door painted blue, that how i first learned they filmed it here. my sister swears Fonda rode her on back his bike. knowing how bad my sister was back then, he probably rode her at the motel too. hahaa

Several to choose from on Hulu...most are free as well

Watch TV. Watch Movies. | Online | Free | Hulu

the Lake Charles bridge?

also, thx for the Acadian film post - I'll see if I can get my hands on a copy

Bully - available on Netflix

Nothing about the kids shocked me, but some of the adults really seemed to not understand.

Pulling John.

Fantastic documentary.

one bridge was the Morgan City bridge and another was the Amelia bridge. you can see the McDermott Fabricators yard with rig platforms under construction on side of Amelia bridge

Highly recommend "Which way is the front line from here" about photojournalist Tim Hetherington. Covers his life & work and the wars he'd covered, really amazing and I knew nothing about him.

Thank you for posting this... I have been watching chapters of the episodes as I have time during my lunch break at work. It very quickly sucked me in. Very good...

Manda Bala.

Doc about corrupt Brazilian politicians, bulletproofing cars, and a plastic surgeon who´s a master at reconstructing severed ears. I have yet to meet a Brazilian who has seen it.


Wasteland

Shows the happier side of Brazil.

Saw a great documentary about this British middle aged man. Can't remember the name of the doc. He goes over to Thailand with all his money. Meets Thai girl, they settle down. They buy a farm, Lots of sex. She works hard. He does nothing but laze around and drink beer. She tires of him and boots him out. He goes back to the Uk penniless. She carries happily on.....:) Beware!

Note by Note - Steinway and Sons make concert grand pianos pretty much the same way they did 100 years ago. If you're into craftsmanship I think you would really like this. My only critique is I wish they had gotten deeper into explaining the work they do in detail, but still really good. Available on Netflix.
