...And This is Free

Not the greatest doc, but ahead of it's time and a great slice of life

I just watched "Killer Legends"

It's more true crime/urban legend tidbits from the people who made Cropsey.

Recently finished the book so I checked out Jodorowsky's Dune documentary. I don't know how well it would work with his thick accent, but that guy definitely has some sound collage-worthy moments.

Source Family was pretty good.

I've been wanting to see this one. It has been on my queue for ages. I'm sure its been mentioned before but The Act of Killing is incredible. I can't wait for the companion piece.

I guess I lived next to them as a kid and my mom used to go to their heath food cafe.  totally missed the film when it played here but I bought the book.  Have a few Yod CDs...really wish I'd bought that big box set Sky Saxon helped put out, but it was $$$...

I thought the Source Family doc was pretty good.

I think I might have mentioned it before in this thread, but The Institute doc was pretty good.

What was that old doc that somebody posted on here a long time ago about a traveling preacher who got outed as a fraud, I think it was from the 70's.

Bitter Lake has been out for a while now.
Pretty good! Check it out on iplayer: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p02gyz6b/adam-curtis-bitter-lake

Also watching Jinx by Andrew Jarecki (Capturing the Friedmans)  airing on HBO.
Certainly intriguing...
I will keep on watching.
