SheepNameKiller posted:Earthlings is basically an animal snuff film. I'm trying hard to find its artistic merit beyond that, but it seems like someone took the most graphic animal deaths they could find and looped it over images of slaughterhouses in order to scare the human race into not eating meat. This is why I won't watch this. I couldn't even make it through the trailer, and while I realize the industry is bad, all they seemed to do was toss in the most horrible stuff imaginable, regardless of how common or uncommon it is. That being said, I've only managed to watch two documentaries so far. Zoo was awesome, though it might make you wonder about the morality of the situation. Very unbiased, too. Don't watch Last Minutes With Oden unless you have a few minutes alone to spend curled up in the fetal position. Actually, get your dog to curl up with you. Trust me.

HipGnosis posted:Second Skin http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/08/06/votd-second-skin-documentary-about-gamers-addicted-to-mmorpgs/. This film might be about you. Haven't watched this yet, but it's about MMORPG addiction and looks pretty interesting. The video has been taken off of Hulu, however. It's available on Netflix instant play for those who have it.

Just a note of warning to those who plan to watch Dear Zachary but have yet to. I was not at all prepared for the soulcrushingness of this documentary. I cried myself to sleep last night and have been in a horrible mood all day. It's beautiful and terrible and I honestly sort of regret watching it because I'll never forget it. Truly one of the most horrifying things I've ever seen.

Forgot about an old favorite. Jesus Camp. Documents several Evangelical Christian children at a religious summer camp. Pretty creepy poo poo. After the documentary was released, the woman who ran the place shut it down.

Just started watching this and it's pretty interesting so far. The Most Hated Family In America Journalist follows the family of the Westboro Baptist Church, best know for being those douchebags who picket funerals with anti-gay messages.

http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/ This website seems to have a pretty good collection of documentaries organized by subject. The quality isn't amazing, but it's fun to explore.
