Got any favorite documentrees?

Ken burns Vietnam documentary is pretty good so far but they put those stupid stock "terror" or this dumb yell a couple times.

It kills any moment of a soldier talking about his friends dying.

Any recommendations? Other ken burn documentaries? Want to see my ass?

The Punk Syndrome

He wanted to know how babies were made so a normal gave him a porn to watch

Their band plays better than 2u

There's Something Wrong With Aunt Diane

Triumph of the Will

on netflix: Why Cant Johnny Come Home, Restrepo or the Sequel (cant remember the name), Pilled Nation Youtube: the 75th, Conspiracy of Silence, All Vietnam War Docs (with Dexter Morgan voice as host), Soviet Storm Series

Korengal is the sequal to restrepo

Someone posted The 75th the other week and that was real fucking good. I was gonna mention it if no one else had.

The 75th is the shit.

Someone recommended It Might Get Loud the other day and I enjoyed it based on their description, if that isn't too vague.

Also, The Seven Five.

The parts with the Jenkem Joe impersonator are particularly interesting.

He's a bit out of his depth without all those pedals, etc.

there’s a good PBS Doc about the Donner Party, anytime my wife starts bitching about something mundane I just holler “Well at least we’re not eating each other in the fucking Sierras!”

YouTube?

there’s an upload on YouTube but it’s zoomed in and the audio is pitch shifted so it doesn’t get a copyright strike. https://youtu.be/wT8bqOg7snM

it was on Netflix a while back but i haven’t seen it on there recently.

When I was in 6th grade we did some stupid history class thing where we sort of acted out the events of the Donner Party. All the kids were given the role of actual members of the party, and I had to play the stupid dago immigrant who was hired on by one of the main families. I was one of the first people to get eaten and I was glad.

Love Me, a group of cucks pay to go on a mail order bride tour in the Ukraine

Checking this out now. Thanks for the schadenfreude, brothaman.

the various men who love Real Dolls docus are also always good

Dig!

God bjm is so underrated

The Thin Blue Line, American Movie, Titicut Follies, F For Fake, The Act of Killing, Grizzly Man, The Staircase, King of Kong, Zoo, How to Build a Time Machine... a lot of great stuff out there.

ME: I have Grizzly Man on my fawkin comedy shelf to be honest with ya.

We heard you

The Act of Killing is ridiculously good.

Yeah it’s great. The Look of Silence is well worth watching too.

F for Fake fooled me at the spoiler part at the end.

Inside Job (2010) about the 2008 economic crash. Nouriel Roubini is in it, he wrote a good book called Crisis Economics about the same subject.

you into wrestling?

Check out Frontline: United States of Secrets Part 1 and 2. I don't think it's on any streaming service but it's readily available on YouTube or the PBS site.

Tower about the shooter in Austin

Battered Bastards of Baseball, even if you couldn’t give a fuck about baseball

The Children of Leningradsky

Anything Errol Morris. Particularly making Standard Operating Procedure and The Unknown Known into a double feature.

Blind man's bluff, doc about cold War submarines. Yes I like stuff like that okay.

Anything by Errol Morris

HBO documentaries are pretty good. The Cheshire Murders is heartwarming. Capturing the Friedmans is also a family favorite.

Jon Alpert does great ones, some of his best were -

High on Crack Street, Lock-up - The Prisoners of Rikers Island (you want the HBO doc, not the MSNBC one), Life of Crime 2, Latin Kings: A Street Gang Story, Thunder Cars, Dope Sick Love, War Torn.

Alan and Susan Raymond also did great ones - The Police Tapes (one of my all time favorites), Doing Time: Life Inside The Big House, Hard Time at Douglass High, Toe Tag Parole.

The 75 is a great one - www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHIGPa1kQJo .

Richard Kotuk's family has a Youtube channels with good stuff he did for PBS -www.youtube.com/channel/UC1m0AmYXDxmXkuBvuWQZJrg .

The Life of Junkie Junior is good, a shorter bad copy is on Youtube now.

This guy puts up lots of old shorts and 60 minutes stuff - www.youtube.com/channel/UCfE3ltiBjgjFrNHahfYvnFA/videos .

The Police Tapes -

www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_cfTHwBpJs .

The follow police around the Bronx and city during the the late 70's. It's considered one of the first modern police documentaries, and the creators of COPS cite it as a major influence.

Nightmares in Red, White, and Blue. It's about the history of horror films. It used to be on Netflix but I think you can find it on YouTube also.

Family Band: The Cowsills Story Starts OK, then throws a curve.
