Helvetica (2007)

Maybe a movie about a typeface doesn't sound all that interesting, but this is really a fascinating and well-done documentary. It's a history of the font and its usage, but mostly it's interviews with artists and design-type people about how much they love or hate the font. Helvetica is literally everywhere and once you see the movie you won't be able to stop seeing it. From where I'm sitting I can already see four or five different things written in Helvetica around me.

Helvetica sucks, its all about Univers.

I found this gem.

Off the Grid: Life on the Mesa
http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/off_the_grid_life_on_the_mesa/

It will take you places that you never expected from just watching the intro. It is very insightful to the way these people live and really gives you perspective. It almost makes me want to live off the grid. Almost.

This is the best poo poo I have seen in a while. Crazy tumor guys speech on American freedom was the first reely :911: I have ever heard or seen.

An amazing look into one day around the world from thousands of videos shot over the course of one day by youtube users and compiled together.

A non politicial biased and detailed documentary about the Russian Revolution. One of six parts.

Finding one about the civil war is next to impossible though :(.

I had no clue that little girl in the beginning was where the idea of giving a rose to riot police came from.
