you really do, Ive just watched "Murder on a sunday morning" which was directed by the same guy. again - I would advise against any spoiler risks. it was absolutely fantastic.

Un coupable idéal (original title)

I believe it won an oscar for best documentary.

Nabbed Tabloid by Errol Morris last night, finally. Looks very interesting.

[When Jokers Attack]

Watched my first Errol Morris documentary last night. The Thin Blue Line. Awesome stuff.

Watched it myself recently. Hadn't seen it in years. Crazy stuff.

Also watched Tabloid, his latest offering. Very good. Philip Glass does the music again. A genius.

If you haven't watched The Fog of War by Mr Morris, make it so. Possibly my all time favourite documentary. Philip Glass again!!

watched Senna last night. It was really good, but if I'm gonna be honest it didn't quite live up to the hype imo. While it was a great story of his career, I came away wishing I knew a bit more about the man himself.

Funny you should mention The Fog of War. Downloaded it last week. Will get it watched very soon.

Working my way through some of the documentaries from this list.

Watched The Fog of War last night. One of best I have ever seen.

Anyone watch Nick Bloomfields documentary on Sarah Palin - "You Betcha"?

Fairly shite but some funny clips in there. He really needs to lay off on the lefty buzz. He goes way OTT towards the end. Total hatchet job.

[rexclark]

Did anyone see this last night on Channel 4?

One of the craziest, most bizarre stories I have ever seen. Well worth a watch if you missed it.

Superb.. brilliant twist where the story just changes

[Jaybles]

Randomly watched 'super high me'.

A weed influenced take on the 'supersize me' documentary. (Yep he got ridiculously high for 30 days and studied the effects)

I actually thought it was quite funny, but that may be because I was having a smoke whilst watching it

watched talhotblond last night, saw the "twist" coming a mile off, but then actually I didnt.

it was obvious jessi wasnt a tall hot blond, but to be her mother, posting explicit, private pictures and upskirt movies of her own daughter, FFS!

just finished paradise lost 3 : purgatory, after repeated sittings to try and finish it, the lipsync is woefully out on the version I have. It really was an emotional end to a story I have followed and contributed to for the last decade and a half. justice certainly wasnt done, most sadly for christopher byers, stevie branch and michael moore. the state of west memphis should remain utterly ashamed of themselves for every day they let pass that they dont search for the true murderer(s)

[The Nal]

Can you not just change that in VLC player?

[t8yman]

Can you not just change that in VLC player?

yeah you can, but my only (comfy) means of watching it is via the inbuilt media player on my telly, or via my bluray player, neither of which have that luxury. it gets gradually worse the longer the film plays, starts OK, but by the end it was infuriatingly bad.
