Just saw one about the biggest unsung hero of WWII:

Garbo: the spy

Terrible direction/production, but the story is so amazing, I highly recommend it.

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"

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...

rusnak 02-27-2013 06:13 PM

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

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).

LSA 02-28-2013 11:47 AM

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
