The Fish 10498 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Like a lot of people I've got a fair amount of movies on the computer and because of that I've categorised them. Now my Action, Comedy and Drama folders are bursting at the seams, but the Horror, Family and Documentary ones are embarrassingly sparse. I've only got two Documentaries (Dogtown and Z Boys & Riding Giants) and that's just shit. Any suggestions for documentaries that aren't too doom and gloom, and equally documentaries which do not feature Michael fucking Moore? tia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soccermom 0 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Louis Theroux's stuff is excellent if you want something a bit weird. he made a hilarious one about swingers and another one about behind the scenes of the porn industry and landed himself a walk on part!!! failing that can't go wrong with Gorrilas in the Mist :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cid_MCDP 0 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 American Movie is good too. It's about these two burn-outs from Wisconsin trying to make a horror flick. Totally hilarious for all the wrong reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonraider 0 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) Touching The Void is an absolute must, as is the book. Excellent call. Yes brilliant. I missed Man on Wire last night...hope I can catch it on BBC iplayer. I'm not sure which category Long Way Round and Long Way Down come under, not a documentary anyway, but really enjoyed those.

Guest alex Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Touching the Void was canny good although I've preferred a few docs I've seen with actual footage of ascents of Everest and that sort of thing. Especially one I saw about Reinhold Messner. What a guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially one I saw about Reinhold Messner. What a guy. I'm going through a phase where I'm canny addicted to climbing books and documentaries. Read all of Joe Simpson's books and must have read about four independent accounts of the 1996 Everest tragedy (each one blaming someone else). It's motivated me into getting into a bit of scrambling myself, slowly working my way up through the difficulties, will have to learn how to use rope and invest in crampons, ice axe, and a helmet soon. If anyone fancies a crack at the Cuillin of Aonach Eagach give me a call! Strange thing is I'm shit scared of heights and get vertigo, guess that's why I like the challenge.
