Good documentaries

Bus 174. Brilliant. I posted about it in the last film you watched thread in off topic.

I just downloaded that, I'm looking forward to it. I love a good documentary.

Have you managed to watch it yet mate?

No, I haven't. I won't get a chance until this weekend at the earliest, but I'll let you know what I think when I've watched it. It looks really interesting.

Ok mate, hope you enjoy it .

One of my favorite documentaries is the BBC's Planet Earth...the caves part was crazy especially the underwater caves!


Go to about the 7 minute mark and tell me that doesn't leave you breathless


I like space documentaries but can't think of any off the top of my head to reccomend

Good call Lyle. Planet Earth and Life are both cracking.

I like

A rare look at life in North Korea, all filmed secretly by a tourist.

Highly recommend "Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills", and the follow up "Paradise Lost: Revelations". They are docs from the 1990's that are very compelling. And I bet that the opinion you have after watching the first one, will completely change after watching the 2nd one.

Here's the trailer from the first one.







I also just watch "Burma VJ: Reporting From A Closed Country", and it was excellent. Here's the trailer.

I love a good documentary and own dozens.

There's a great new one out now called Dragons or Dinosaurs, Creation or Evolution which imo demolishes the already tottering edifice of evolutionary beliefs in dinosaurs being millions of years old, a must watch imo. Of course most of you will disagree with the conclusions but not because of the evidence which is damning of the religion of evolution, but rather because of your blind faith that the scientists are telling you the truth.

Less controversial but still fun is Simon Schama's History of Britain. I often put these on as bedtime listening, great series.

Any of Michael Palin's travel dvd's are good too.
