?"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. "

"Stranded, amazed any of them are still alive let alone playing! Best music documentary I've ever seen was hilarious."

[Sue Perdupa]

The Imposter - part recreation/part doc about a missing kid. Best thriller I've seen in ages. Restrepo - embedded footage following US soldiers trying to keep a trade road open in Afganistan. Simultaneously harrowing and uplifting Burma VJ - lifting the lid on the brutality and the failed revolution. All covertly filmed from within the country at great danger to himself

Letter To Zachary was pretty incredible. Some of the ESPN 30 docs are good. Two Escobars and Catching Hell

"(And I've now realised, why I was trying to remember Marvin Haggler for some reason as well. Would probably be better, if I wrote these things down)"

"Pancho 5:47 Dig! is a really good one. Funny as fuck. An old mate of mine, now sadly deceased (natural causes, incase his being in Dig made you wonder), is in it."

"Someone told me about something that was on that was brilliant, while I was on holiday... About some bloke who was the Stoke City kit man, but had blagged a load of jobs in the past, including things like being in the circus etc Ring any bells with anyone, as completely forgotten the name of it now"

The ESPN docs are brilliant - well worth a watch. Also older docs such as Overnight and Dig! are absolutely fantastic.
