pixelspread: Documentaries

read the blog

posted on 12/10/07

I’ve been reading through The Documentary Blog for a while now, looking for some new documentaries to check out. I’ve watched a lot over the past year, so I thought I’d list some of my favorites, and ask what everyone else has been enjoying. Here’s my list:

Helvetica
The Devil and Daniel Johnston
American Hardcore
The Corporation
Refused Are Fucking Dead
Wordplay
Spellbound
The Root of All Evil
Jesus Camp

So what do I still need to see? What am I missing out on?

edit: forgot American Hardcore, had to add it

5 documentary

May I suggest The Documentaries of Louis Malle & American Hardcore … two of my favorite documentary releases from the past year.

“Word Wars” is pretty good, especially if you liked Wordplay.

“Who killed the electric car?” is eye opening.

One documentary that sounds interesting but is actually quite boring: “10 mph.” Seriously, watch it when you have nothing better to do.

Have fun with Jesus Camp. That’s some freaky stuff.

Just watched “When the Levees Broke” – it was heavy, but the photography is really amazing. Other than that I’ve seen most of the ones you listed…Helvitica is badass – saw it at SXSW.
