I want to see this!!!!!! Did you rent it or is it in theatres? I haven't yet seen a trailer that says when it came out. :?
It just came out on DVD. Of all the music documentaries that have come out in the last couple of years, I would put this one as my 2nd favorite behind a film Cameron Crowe did about some band I had previously never heard of

I watched 'The Interrupters' on a plane yesterday. A bit of a grim documentary about people who try to prevent gang shootings in the Inglewood area of Chicago, but worth a watch. Some of those areas look like they're just overwhelmed by violence. There are some seriously fucked-up places in America.

I really want to see this! The previews look great. I didn't know it was already showing on planes.
Another good doc is one I saw on PBS a few years ago: Life Matters. It's the story of a minister-turned-abortion-provider in rural Texas before Roe v Wade.
This documentary follows the lives of motorcycle racers and racing enthusiasts. Brown tried to show the unique talents needed for the different forms of racing. For instance, the motocross riders were typically free-spirited types, while desert racers were often loners. In Grand National racing, Brown showed the differing personalities, such as the business-like approach to racing displayed by Mert Lawwill versus the carefree approach that wild young rookie David Aldana became known for.[2]
Steve McQueen is featured in the film, along with Mert Lawwill, Malcolm Smith and many other motorcycle racers from the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Critical reception
On Any Sunday is often credited as the best and/or most important motorcycle documentary ever made. Roger Ebert says it "does for motorcycle racing what The Endless Summer did for surfing". Ebert praises the film's high level of artistry in accomplishing the impressive footage of motorcycle races (which he says are difficult to film), and he also credits the film for not bothering viewers with the technical details of how the filming was done

Cool.
A few here I need to check out, beginning with 'The Philosopher Kings', and 'Trudell'.
I was actually hoping you'd find 'Trudell' on my list. I think you'd really like John Trudell,Byrnzie. Even if you didn't care for his poetry,or some other aspect of his life's work, I think you could appreciate his dedication to clarity of thought.
Thanks. I have heard of him before though. He's mentioned a lot in Peter Matthiessen's book 'In The Spirit of Crazy Horse'. Also saw him in the movie 'Thunderheart' and the documentary 'Incident At Oglala'.
Just watched this. I like it a lot. Makes you wonder how many more homeless people there are out there with interesting stories to tell about their lives?
Watched this yesterday too (Yeah, It's Chinese New Years holiday )
It's a good one. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to sit through the whole thing at first as I hate the art crowd/scene. Bunch of pretentious money oriented tossers. But this showed another side to it - the 0.009% element of integrity side.
I knew about Basquiat before from having seen the Schnabel movie, but this covered a lot more ground. There was a lot more to him than I knew before. Shame he was hijacked by the money crowd and then left out to dry/die. But I suppose that's the way it usually goes.

looks interesting
like putting a marshmallow in a parking meter... *snicker*
:thumbup: I liked this one. I could relate to it after working in a call centre many moons ago and having to deal with the general public.

Same thing happening today in Tibet. Cultural genocide.
