Legendary Nights: The Tale of Ward-Gatti
One the best docs I've ever watched. Got chills many times during this and was almost welling up during the last 10 minutes. Actually watched these fights when they happened, some of the best fights I've ever watched. Must see if you're a boxing fan. Pretty good even if you're not.

Survive and Advance is the best 30 for 30
-
I want to see Stories We Tell.
-
Watching Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone on one of the Starz channels. Pretty good, always enjoyed this band. They just went through a lot of the early 80s punk scene in LA/SoCal...good stuff.
-
Standout docs on Netflix Instant:
The Act of Killing
Bully
Into the Abyss
-
Plus several of the 30 for 30s from ESPN are on there.
-
Once Brothers was great. Highly recommended.
-
Has anyone watched The Square on Netflix?
Saw it last month, liked it a lot.
-
No
-
2 documentaries in one day...just finished Grizzly Man. Not bad. I believe Treadwell put himself in that position on purpose.

And what haunts me, is zat in all ze faces of all ze bears that Treadwell ever filmed, I discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. I see only ze overwhelming indifference of nature.

If you have ESPN2, a great football documentary is playing again at 9PM EST: We Could Be King
A lot of people missed it because the Donald Sterling stuff was all over ESPN when it premiered, so ESPN pushed it to ESPNews instead.
This will be the best thing you can watch on TV tonight, and probably all week.

Should be downloadable by March 2015

Hahahahaha I knew what it was about without even playing it, just looking at the pic of five of them I recognized four. This looks great.
-
In the midst of my movie binge I also watched Undefeated. Really good.
-
If you have Netflix, are in a good mood, and want to destroy that mood, I recommend Dear Zachary. Extraordinary doc, but just crushing.

I really want to see that. I also don't want to see it.

After looking at the imdb page I'm very intrigued to see this. Like Badger said though, this looks emotionally draining. Reading what some people wrote about it though, I'm pretty impressed by the emotions it brought out.
I thought "Paradise Lost" was pretty emotionally draining and I knew what that was all about before I watched it.
-
I'm pretty sure Dear Zachary has been in my queue since 2012.

I like watching BBC documentaries at night to fall asleep. They tend to be a great combination of interesting and quietly pacifying enough to fall asleep.

Watched the Christian Laetner doc on 30-for-30 and it was pretty good. And, yeah, I've pretty much never liked him. It also made me want Bobby Hurley to coach St. John's.

I watched a bunch of 30 for 30s recently.
From Elway to Marino
You Don't Know Bo
Of Miracles and Men (guess I don't have to see Red Army now)

Came out slightly bitter about how John Elway and Bo Jackson could have been Yankees.

I saw the one about Boz, that was pretty interesting.

No. That's Jay Williams you're thinking of. It wasn't brain damage, just career ending injuries.

Did you watch this? Holy freak is Scientology freaking weird. I have a great story about Scientology trying to recruit me one day it was fantastic. I will tell it later.
Edit: By weird I mean freaking psychotic, it's a freaking cult by every definition, religion my poopchute.

Once Brothers is a phenomenal 30 for 30. I consider it the best one I've seen.
-
Yeah, we watched the whole thing.
It was ok I thought it would be better. It's like that Lincoln saying, "it's better to be thought a fool than open your mouth and prove it."
Everyone knew Scientology was fucked up but that proved it.
Anyway my run in with Scientology:
I was in the retail end of Painewebber. We had a booth at some wellness expo. My partner was a pretty blond who is a very good friend.
She started a convo with an immense fat guy, not me lol. I walk over and he starts a Scientology pitch. Martha starts rabbit punching me when the guy wasn't looking because she knows I am a freaking wiseass with this bullshit. Yeah I am an idiot in person too, not just online.
Anyway, I start asking ridiculous questions. Isn't it started by a science fiction writer? Didn't that guy write Star Trek? If that's the case who is your supreme being, Captain Kirk, or someone like Spock? Do you guys believe in UFO's? Is it a real religion? What's your bible, is it like a comic book? I asked some doozies. The guy kept answering. Martha was mortified, she kept hitting me to stop.
Finally, he got to it's a system of beliefs bullshit, it has taught him a lot. yada yada
yada. Well yeah what did it teach you? This guy, 400 pounds had the balls to say,"it taught me discipline" I damn near laughed in his face. "Discipline, huh, that's interesting, I gotta go I am not at all interested". I walked away laughing. I was going to say something about cheeseburgers but I grilled the dude enough.
Martha bought me drinks after to thank me for the laughs. That's my run in with Scientology, they had a booth there.

Watching Montage of Heck on HBO right now. Wow. I always liked Kurt Cobain/Nirvana, I was never his/their biggest fan but this is a pretty good reflection of what he was about. The director did a great job here.

I find I pretty much don't give 2 shits about him, I can't bring myself to watch it.

It was good. I forgot how unreal that trial was, and the only reason he got off was because no one trusted the LAPD at the time.
I remember my HS segregating the black kids from the white kids that day, fearing a riot. They put all the black kids in the TV room so they can watch the verdict, while all the white and Hispanic kids were in the gym. We heard the cheers, and some of the black kids came out screaming "in your Fuckn face!" to us. I remember some kid yelling out "Wait so you're celebrating a murderer getting away with it? What does that say about you guys?" That was awesome. Shut them up real quick.

That, and the bit where all the black kids were celebrating until a white kid drops a killer line and then all the black kids go quiet and the white kids win, like some kind of third rate racist pastiche of a John Hughes script.

No it was only a few of the black kids who were flaunting the verdict. Not like they all came into the gym.

High School in NYC. About a quarter black, quarter Hispanic, and the rest a mix of guidos and irish.

And one Albanian getting his derriere beat on the regular and crying each night that he'd get those inferior races one day as he stood in front of the mirror tracing a Hitler stache on his upper lip with mommy's cheap eyeliner.
Birth of a Tommy. On that day, when that negro learned his place, he was king.

I actually never had a problem with the black kids. I did have an irrational hatred towards Jews back then for some reason though.

Caught the last 45 minutes or so of Stretch and Bobbito: Radio that Changed Lives and it was fantastic. I need to watch this in its entirety (it's on demand on Showtime) but it really brought me back. I used to tape the Stretch and Bob show off 89.9 back in the day. I probably have at least 20 tapes or so kicking around in my basement, but if you love 90s hip-hop you will really appreciate this.

Wow....OJ's dad was gay.
A lot interesting stuff about LA's history of race relations dating back to the 60s. Watt riots etc.
Also a large portion about how he completely altered marketing since black sports figures were never sold to mainstream white audiences. It's really well made.

A&E did a three hour documentary about Compton called Streets Of Compton, and despite being made by A&E it was really good. The Game narrated and was a large part of it, but it covered the history of the city, the rise and the impact of NWA, the Williams sisters and a bunch of other people. Obviously a lot of focus on the whole Crip / Piru thing, but not in a judgemental way at all. I'm sure most of you know a lot more about the history of the area, the gangs and the music than I did but I found it fascinating.

he had a well known beef with the rapper Ras Kass, who's from Carson.
He pulled the curtain back on him. About his facial butterfly tattoo he turned into an "LA", about his appearance on the dating show "Change of Heart", about being a male stripper, about him actually being from Lancaster.
The Game didn't even really try to deny it. His response was having his entourage smash a champagne bottle over Ras Kass' head at a club in LA.
If you haven't seen this, this is quite funny. Before he was "The Game", he was hoo-ha whipped on a crappy dating show.

Maybe "nothing to do with Compton" is not entirely accurate, but he's a fraud.

Kind of unrelated but this picture I think is a good example of why it's stupid to compare eras. You see excrement like 'the 96 Bulls or the 86 Celtics would destroy the Warriors' and such but the athleticism of today's players is on another planet compared to then. This looks like a pic of a bunch of people's dads getting together for a pickup game vs the same pic taken with today's top talent

I was kinda thinking the same. I understand not enjoying the current playstyle, I certainly watch a hell of a lot less because of it.
It's weird to me that this style of play was what all the guys who grew up playing NBA live znd 2k kinda forshadowed. Those games were always run and gun and chuck 3's with anyone with a high rating.

Today's style of basketball may suck for you but seriously, look at that picture up there. You could put LeBron 8v1 and he still muscles his way to the basket on those dudes.

Lebron would be too afraid to go to the basket like he does now. He would probably have been the best post up power forward in history though.
Parish alone, not to mention guys that came along later like Oakley and Barkley, would have made him pay dearly. No hoo-ha plus one excrement. They would have put the ball through his face.
Not to mention he would have been called for travelling left and right.
With all my Lebron hate, he would have been HOF back then too. His game would have been very different though.
You could block a shot back then with no foul, even if you grazed their little pinky finger and you hit the floor like you were shot by a sniper in the cheap seats.
The Lakers team of the early to mid 80s is the best team ever assembled in my lifetime. I wasn't even a fan, but what an ungodly collection of talent.

That's a fair point. While obviously today's players are much better athletes that 30 years ago, the way the game is played and officiated has changed some too. Some of the playing style in today's NBA may not have gone over so well 30 years ago. Reminds me of pass interference in the NFL. Today's WRs, while better athletes, would not have been able catch passes as easily without the virtual penalty flag bubble around them like they have today. They would have had to fight for that excrement. I'm not saying they couldn't do it, just that it wouldn't be as easy.
-
I liked Larry Bird because he was a slow white boy that could shoot his derriere off, just like me. When I played basketball in high school, I was an excellent shooter, but I offered next to no help on defense, I was as slow as molasses, and couldn't jump. Therefore, I rode the bench until garbage time. They might as well have given me a chair to sit in at the 3 point line and just play 4 on 5 at the other end.

Here's my "get off my lawn" take on things...the players of the 80s and 90s wanted to beat each other. They didn't want to start "super teams" they wanted to beat the excrement out of each other, sometimes literally, and then they got steak dinners and went to the titty bar afterward. They wanted to best each other, have the bragging rights, but they respected each other. They all hated Isaiah though.
The players now are such passive agressive pussies. They all complain about who's on their team, and chirp at each other via twitter or some stupid podcast. It's ridiculous. God forbid anyone get physical with someone else.
I don't doubt LeBron's talent or his standing in the history of the league, he's one of the best all-around players ever, I'm not singling him out either, but these guys just don't do it right anymore. Just my .02

The Defiant Ones is pretty legit. I never realized how successful Jimmy Iovine actually is. I've already been rewatching it, well done.
The 30-for-30 on Mike and the Mad Dog was enjoyable too. I've never been a huge fan of either of them but being in NY it brought me back.

The Staircase on Netflix is excellent. My initial thoughts were a) oh look, another real crime documentary, and b) holy excrement there's no way I'm watching 13 episodes of this, but now I'm on episode 10 and completely hooked.

Hired Gun on Netflix is an absolute treat if you are a music fan. All about session musicians, from Billy Joel to Alice Cooper to Pink to a whole bunch of others. Doesn't matter whether you're into the bands or the music, it's a brilliantly made film.

For anyone who has Showtime, you don’t have to be a fan of Agnostic Front, or hardcore/punk in general, to be a fan of The Godfathers of Hardcore. More about Roger Miret and Vinnie Stigma than about the group or the 80s hardcore movement in general, still pretty cool doc. Doesn’t hurt that a buddy of mine has been in AF since ‘01 now, which is a lifetime for a band like AF.

Pink? barf
My issue with Pink is how negative she is. Like instead of the lyric, "I wanna get in a fight" think about how constructive it would be if it was instead, "I wanna give you a hug."
"Na-na-nana-na-na-na I wanna give you a hug!" Much better and more wholesome.

Thought about putting this in the I<3NY thread, but Godfathers Of Hardcore is brilliant. I don't think you even have to like punk or hardcore to understand and enjoy it; Roger Miret and Vinnie Stigma are both such lovely guys and this doc does an awesome job of allowing them to explain how misunderstood that musical scene is, while also giving a great insight into the band that started it all.

I’ve watched it a few times...it is really well done. Captures the scene well and examines them pretty thoroughly. Funny thing is I’ve known their bassist, Mike Gallo, for 2 decades now. My friends band used to play with his old band back in the late 90s, early 00s. Great dude. I still remember how happy he was when he told me he got picked to join the band, crazy to think that was 18 years ago.

Who The freak Is That Guy? on Netflix is pretty good if you're interested in the heavy rock and metal scene of the 80s. About Michael Alago, a gay Puerto Rican kid from Brooklyn who became an A&R guy who signed some huge bands.

ESPN's new 30 for 30 film "Long Gone Summer," which airs Sunday, June 14, at 9 p.m. ET, looks back at the twists and turns of the 1998 season -- its exhilarating highlights, massive impact and lasting complications -- including in-depth interviews with McGwire and Sosa talking at length for the first time in more than two decades.

Man, I loved Lance (the 30-for-30). He's such a narcissistic poopchute, though he did good work with cancer. Him starting it by telling a story about how everyone wants to call him an poopchute, and ending by saying it was "freaking bullshit" how he was blackballed was perfect.

Athlete A, about the Indy Star's investigation into Dr Larry Nassar's systematic abuse of young elite gymnasts, USAG's cover up, and the subsequent prosecutions. It's unsurprisingly a tough watch at times, but it's very well made and has some really inspiring and empowering moments. Gymnastics and sexual abuse of young girls may not sound like topics that you really want to get into but I thoroughly recommend it.

The Night Stalker on Netflix is the latest in their increasingly long line of excellent true crime documentaries.
We don't seem to get any good serial killers with cool names any more. Nowadays they all seem to want to go for the quick and easy blaze of glory rather than putting in the hard hours to really build a reputation for themselves. Maybe the lockdown and the closure of schools will see the industry forced to return to the old ways of stalking, planning and knocking victims over one at a time over a long period, rather than this lazy approach of seeing how many magazines you can get through before the police fill you with holes.

There are only 4 and I've seen 3 of them, so barring a collapse in the final one I'm going to disagree.
I guess it depends what you want from it. I don't know the story, so it's interesting to me. It's not providing lots of nuanced psychological exploration of the killer's motivations, it's a police procedural with lots of interviews and crime scene footage.
-
On this note, has anyone watched The Ripper?

Finished this today. Episode 4 is the weakest one, but the trial was never going to be as entertaining as the chase.

Funnily enough so did I, and I agree. Some of the interviewees crossed the line into a bit too schmaltzy in the last episode; I'm sure everything they said was true, but some of it rang a bit like they've told it so many times that it now just sounds like an over-rehearsed TV script.
-
Starting the Ripper tonight.
If you watch or read enough true crime you eventually come across the concept of the less or lesser dead: people whose murders that the cops and society at large are more comfortable with disregarding because they simply don’t count as much. Prostitutes, women of color, trans women, runaways - and worse yet any combination of the preceding - are typically easy targets for killers because the cops can effectively ignore due to who they are or what they do.
Listening to the cops talk about the early investigations in this series really highlights this.

I think they could have done more with Ramirez’s attorneys or the groupie phenomenon but both of these things which had the potential to be very interesting topics were kind of just glossed over as perfunctory simply because it didn’t fit the hard hitting detective story from the first three episodes.

The two epsiodes of Untold I've seen so far have been excellent - Malice At The Palace and Deal With The Devil (about the boxer Christy Martin). I'm struggling to get interested in the one about Caitlyn Jenner although I'll probably get round to it, but the hockey one looks really interesting as well.

i've talked about this multiple times with my friends in the past
the malice in the palace will likely be the most fascinating live 'as it's happening' moment i will ever see/watch in my life
i often think about how insane the reactions would be if it happened during our current era with twitter around. it's the only thing that could make it better than it already is/was

Have now watched the hockey one (Untold: Crimes & Penalties) and it's the best of the bunch. I don't want to give anything away if you don't know the story, but it's about a mob boss who bought a minor hockey franchise in Danbury CT and installed his 17 year old son as President. It's brilliant and all sports fans should watch it.

Last one in the Untold series is predictably brilliant, about the US tennis player Mardy Fish. Heard of him but knew nothing about him, and care not one excrement about tennis, but it's an incredibly compelling story.
Also I thought Andy Roddick was supposed to be a dick, but he comes across as a really good dude.

Batman & Bill on Hulu
A documentary about Bill Finger, Batman's uncredited other creator.

Drive To Survive is better every season and the latest is no exception. It has to be in the running for the best sports documentary ever made - I can't think of another one that is actually better than the sport it's covering. I don't mean that facetiously, if you just watch the races you're not seeing all the internecine struggles and getting the various insider perspectives on why they're happening. I watched the race on Sunday and it was fine, but mostly quite boring until the last few laps. DTS is absolutely thrilling from first minute to last.
-
Watched a couple of excellent docs while on my travels last weekend.
Ninth Floor is about the race riot at a Montreal University in the late 60s that had far reaching effects on the enshrinement of equal rights and multiculturalism in Canada's Constitution. I'd never heard of the riot before, the filmmaker tracked down a lot of the key players and restored a lot of old footage. It's pretty compelling.
I'd also never heard of Dawn Raid Entertainment, but many of you might have. They are/were a hip hop label, clothing company, promoter and a bunch of other things besides from New Zealand, and Dawn Raid is their story. The two main guys feature throughout the film and they come across as such decent blokes that it's really engaging. Recommended even if you're not into hip hop.

Watched Don’t Pick Up the Phone and came away from it baffled and angry. I don’t want to put up any spoilers (yet) but, for those that have seen it, that Nix guy knew exactly what he was doing, no way he didn’t.
Saw Dear Zachary last week and it was good. I guess I’ve watched a ton of crime docs and dateline because I thought it was a solidly made doc that obviously showed how flawed the system was. It was obviously very emotional but I find with true crime type stuff, that is often the case. In retrospect, I feel like I should have seen the twist coming but man…what a friggin’ waste of human life that lady was. How can you do a thing like that?
-
Aftershock: Everest and the Nepal Earthquake on Netflix is a remarkable piece of documentary making. It covers three regions that were affected by the Earthquake in 2015, including Everest Base Camp, and has a ton of footage. The most amazing thing is the human stories - I don't want to give anything away but some things go in directions I absolutely did not expect. Highly recommend.

1) has anyone seen Stolen Youth: Sarah Lawrence cult on Hulu and is it worth watching (it has good reviews)?
2) watched Telemarketers and it was very entertaining although the last episode, imo, was it’s weakest. I worked for a telemarketing place for a few months in high school, and although it was nothing like theirs, I got a kick out of the people they interviewed. Not too surprising to me what exactly was going on though.
