Cosmos is wonderful. But I'd mostly rather read to learn, it's faster.
I'm a huge fan of documentaries that aren't mind-expanding and focus on quirky subcultures:
King of Kong - Never cared about professional video gamers, but this film made me care deeply for 90 minutes.
Spellbound - The incredible varied backstories behind the kids in the national spelling bee
Grizzly Man - Don't even know how to describe this one. See Alaska through the eyes of a crazy person.
Monster Camp - About people into live-action roleplaying. The culture clash with the couple on a leisurely stroll through the park that has no idea what's going on around them is one of the all-time great moments in documentaries.
American Movie - Couldn't tell if this was real or Christopher Guest at first. It's real. It's awesome.
- zalew 13y agoYou will enjoy these then: Confessions of a Superhero - wannabe actors working on Hollywood streets as costumed superheroes for tips. The Great Happiness Space - Japanese male prostitutes entertaining girls in pubs. Suprising twist in the end. Indie Game The Movie, Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope - titles say it all. I guess these two are well known around here, like King of Kong you mentioned.
- drblast 13y agoThanks! I forgot about indie game... is that the one about fez and super meat boy? That was fantastic.
- netghost 13y agoIf you enjoyed "King of Kong", "Chasing Ghosts" is pretty entertaining as well.
- postscapes1 13y agoAmerican Movie is one of my favorite films ever. "Jesus told me so". If you haven't seen it, Kevin Kelly's True Films site is a great resource for other gems like it http://truefilms.com/ http://truefilms.com/.
