What are some good documentaries?

[Cuphead]

In the mood for a good documentary tonight. Somebody here recommended Overnight recently which was pretty good. A fan of the darker stuff. Recommend me something while I watch Apocalypto for the hundredth time.

 

[guest]

Recently watched Get Back by Peter Jackson, that was a pretty fun watch.

The Act of Killing

The Act of Killing (Indonesian: Jagal, meaning "Butcher") is a 2012 documentary film about individuals who participated in the Indonesian mass killings of 1965–1966. The film is directed by Joshua Oppenheimer and co-directed by Christine Cynn and an anonymous Indonesian.

Great doc about bums living in a shanty town in an abandoned amtrak tunnel under the upper west side. Looks like it's currently streaming for free on Tubi and Pluto

The Battered Bastards of Baseball is great. I had no idea Kurt Russell is actually databased in Baseball records for his very short career.

Normally I'd agree with you and it's hard to ignore how crappy some of the editing in that movie is, but it was such a personal project for the director considering the subject was his brother and had little to no money I give him a pass.

The Imposter was great

 

[Meownaw]

No movie gives me more hope and determination to make something of my life. That guy is my hero always giving 110% in everything. Him getting excited about getting approved for a credit card makes me smile everytime. Fucking love him.

The Battered Bastards of Baseball is great. I had no idea Kurt Russell is actually databased in Baseball records for his very short career.

An even bigger revelation was the origin of Big League Chew.

fawk yeah.

Its even better now that we know all those Twin Galaxies dorks were just making up their high scores.

Steve Wiebe is an American icon.

Spoiler: spoliesr

I guarantee they knew it wasn't their kid and that nigga was 6 feet under by their hands. Such a creepy fucking movie.

That's fair maybe I need to rewatch it with that in mind.
