I can watch this one over and over again. The narration is beautiful, the stories, the music. A perfect storm for anyone who hasn't already sold their soul.




I'm not generally "held" by nature films, but this one kept me riveted.

It isn`t realy a documentrary. It`s young man who finds out more about himself and a trauma inflicted on him when he whitnessed a horrible moment of recent middle east history.
It has part of history and psychology explained in it. Eighter way, it`s a amazing film and I strongly recomend it. It will blow your mind, it`s the kind of film one never forgets.

Catfish is the best (fake) documentary film I've seen.

Though rather more dramatisation than documentary, I will forever recommend 2001's Conspiracy, with the likes of Kenneth Branagh, Colin Firth and Ian McNiece. It's a recreation of the infamous 1942 Wannsee Conference, at which the finer details of the Nazi "Final Solution to the Jewish Problem" were discussed, based on the minutes retained by Martin Luther; the only surviving record. One IMDB reviewer says it better than I ever could: "People look at the pictures from Dachau and Buchenwald, the piles of starved corpses and the lamps made of human skin, and they say, `How could they?' Watch the movie. This is how they did it: over drinks around a table."

On a lighter note: if we're talking mockumentary, then for my money The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash wins hands down.
