The Fish 10972 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Been watching that The Shadow Line, missed a couple but has been good. Anyway, me telly is bust (Phillips LCD, wont turn on, get the little light on for about 10 seconds after plugging it in, then nowt) so was wondering if there are sites where you can watch TV. For nowt. I dont ask for much. tvcatchup.com can get it on your iPhone (or whatever) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46089 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 There's a doc called 'Hoop Dreams' which is apparently a terrific film, haven't seen it yet myself. Yeah Hoop Dreams is quality. Another basketball documentary worth a look is More Than A Game. The Tillman Story is worth a look too - nowt to do with basketball though.

Barney 0 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 A couple of Docs I've been told are aces : Winnebago Man based on this guy : - American Movie Documentary about an aspiring filmmaker's attempts to finance his dream project by finally completing the low-budget horror film he abandoned years before. - Spellbound Spellbound follows eight teenagers on their quest to win the 1999 National Spelling Bee. - The King of Kong I saw this one a few months ago. It is amazing. The characters are fucking aces. Get this watched. All of these are available in the usual places. I'm going to watch the first 3 over the next few days.

I've got a bunch of those ESPN 30 for 30 documentaries (including the Two Escobars as recommended by Fish) downloaded.

Barney 0 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Total Badass I took a year off to raise guinea pigs with my girlfriend and do cocaine I remember when my dad took me to a wig store. I was about your age...it was a turning point I think I've mentioned this elsewhere, but I really want to see this doc. It doesn't appear anywhere online though.

Billy Castell 0 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Winnebago Man is well worth a watch. Is that the one where they try to find a bloke who inadvertantly became a youtube sensation when out-takes of his adverts surface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Winnebago Man is well worth a watch. Is that the one where they try to find a bloke who inadvertantly became a youtube sensation when out-takes of his adverts surface? He was a VHS sensation back in the early 80's rather than a youtube hit. They are VERY funny videos of him doing his nut like. Unfortunately nowt in the doc is quite as good as his Angry man caught on camera. Still well worth it like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
