Documentaries

I know a lot of you aren't into documentaries, but I urge you to see what's out there; This genre of film is great of broadening your minds, and is also a great way to pass the time if you're bored!
So here's a list of some of my favorite documentaries (in no particular order), and I hope you'll give them a chance:

  • Man on Wire- A glance at Phillipe Petit walking a high wire between the Twin Towers in 1974.
  • The Last Waltz- Scorsese films The Band's last concert, featuring many guest singers.
  • An Inconvenient Truth- Al Gore gives insight into global warming statistics.
  • Monterey Pop- A look at the first major rock festival, that is unjustly rated way below Woodstock.
  • Grey Gardens- A depressing but mesmerizing account of the introverted lives of Big and Little Edie Bovier Beale.
  • Grizzly Man- Heartbreaking accounts of eccentric Timothy Treadwell, who was killed by one of the bears he studied.
  • My Big Breasts and Me- What it's really like to have naturally big breasts, and the health hazards that are included.
  • The Thin Blue Line- A documentary that investigated a murder case, arguing that the man charged with the crime was really innocent.
