I love watching them i guess they never get old can anybody recommend some to me. I like history/theory's but i have noticed I fucking love demented ones even more. i am trying to get this one but i can't find it anywhere http://www.justmelvin.com/contacts.html. probably the most fucked up one i have ever read so i want to watch this.

Anything by Louis Theroux

"Sick"

The life of times of Bob Flannigan, the super masochist who spends his life struggling with cystic fibrosis.

pretty interesting, very demented.

"American Movie" is fucking hilarious. Its about a amateur filmmaker in Wisconsin (i think...its been a while).


both of those are available to stream on netflix

At first I wasnt going to post in here cause I thought mega would make fun of me for the alien documentaries, but then I realized he would never go into a thread with an educational theme.

[Jerome Scuggs]

they filmed one here called 'Haynesville', it's about the largest natural gas deposit in america, and i'm typing this out right on top of it. it follows three people from around here and their experiences with the sudden wealth.

in wake of recent events, this film makes a good case for privitization of resources. one of the people the documentary follows formed a bargaining collective (if you take alot of people who have maybe a few acres each and et together, you can then bargain with hundreds of acres' worth of mineral rights) and managed to secure the most comprehensive environmental protection clauses in america. and she's a dumb fuckin' hick.
