Recommend a Documentary

?"Been a while since we've had one of these, and the nights are drawing in, so I need something new to watch. A few to get things going.. ""Cold War"" (1998) Series made by the same people who did 'The World at War'. Covers the period from 1945 to 1991. This is episode 1, the same person's put up all the other episodes too.. ""To Mars by A-Bomb: The Secret History of Project Orion"" (2002) BBC film about the Cold War era plan to build an ocean liner-sized spaceship, propelled by endless external nuclear explosions. Fascinating from start to finish. ""Reggae"" (1971) Film about the 1970 Wembley reggae festival. Live clips, interviews, etc. If you like old ska/reggae you'll love it. "

American nightmare on Netflix is a pretty incredible crime drama and the US police don't come out of it very well. Watched Schumacher tonight. Not an F1 fan but these F1 docs are very good. Senna and Mansell were also excellent. Incredible when you look at the risks these guys took that it's bizarre bad luck that killed Senna and severely injured Schumacher.

"World War 2 - From the Frontlines currently on Netflix. Highly recommend this, all the old video footage has been coloured and digitally remastered which adds to the harsh reality of war Also contains many interviews from all sides of the conflict. Of all the WW2 documentaries I’ve watched, this is probably the best out there."

Revelations of the pyramids. A classic case of psuedocryptology.

[Ronald_antly]

Irons10 A lot of food for thought there.

"Three part documentary on the battle of Stalingrad, with interviews with veterans from both sides and civilians alike. You can tell some of these old fellas were hard cunts in their youth and have seen it all. Part one... www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iEnLnezuxE"

"The 1973 Hells Angel documentary is real and not a send up, hilarious all the same but just shows how much society has changed. These fellas were considered really bad hell raisers at the time, off they went on there bank holiday motorbike ride, shouting naughty things like “Were are the schoolgirls” at passers-by and doing risky things like crossing to the wrong side of the road, then they find a boat, someone gets thrown in the river before they all settle down and watch Dr Who, before it starts pissing down with rain so they all go home feeling fed up and bored. Your average 12 year old gets up to more mischief these days."

There's a few Vice UK documentaries that are worth a watch. Britain's Most Feared Debt Collector The one about smackheads in Swansea (forgot the name)

"""Fly a Flag for Poplar"" (1974) - Film about the people and history of Poplar, centered around the organizing of the 1973 Teviot Festival. Lots of interviews etc. If you grew up around that way, I'd imagine this would be quite a trip down memory lane. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hgihC6k28w"

"I've just watched it, definitely a spoof. That's Angus Dayton doing the voice over. Quality though, at midday johns friend turnes up from day release from the mental hospital.. Haha"

[charlie paynter]

"The Hells Angels documentary is definitely real, as ridiculous as it may seem! It was found in the BBC archives by a guy called Adam Curtis and there's a blog about it on the BBC website. There's a good clip on there posted by him about East End skinheads from 1969 too. Not comical like the Hells Angels one but worth a watch: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00jy2zh The same programme featured more Hells Angels too, which has its moments: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00jy31s"

"Yes but dogs just look weird in white coats In fact people putting any clothes on dogs is just weird,."

Scientists are shit.... Dogs Rule

[Darlo Debs]

Scientifically I think it was as yet unproved if memory serves me correctly. Though more research may have been done since then.

[Northern Sold]

... and the answer was Yes Debs...

That rings a bell Edd....

The horizon episode that sought to prove whether dogs really can sniff out cancer was very interesting.
