Great Documentaries

Jesus Camp- It's just a type of fundamentalism/extremism. It was shocking to watch.
Who Killed the Electric Car- Haven't heard of this one? It came out long ago . . . back when gasoline was less than $2/gallon
Bowling for Columbine- Even if you don't like Michael Moore, it takes a sad and tragic look at the psychology of a couple of high school students
Supersize Me- Just because I can't stand fast food and the consequences that it has brought onto us
The Times of Harvey Milk- An interesting look at one of our nation's most historic leaders (that you've never heard of)
An Inconvenient Truth- If you haven't seen it I recommend you do. If, for no other reason than to help raise awareness of, and understand better, this pressing issue
Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room- The title here speaks for itself
War Room- About Bill Clinton's 1992 Presidential Campaign. It illustrates the great power of words, media and conflict
Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion- A Documentary that reveals some very interesting history of the conflict between the Chinese Government and the people of Tibet
Spellbound- A hilarious behind-the-scenes look at the Scripps National Spelling Bee and some of the participants
Amandla- Great South African Documentary about Music building hope and how that helped to overcome Apartheid

Great Movies

Kundun- A Scorcese film that shows exactly why both the Dalai Lama and Scorcese, himself, are forces of vision and power to be reckoned with.
The Big Lebowski- It's absurdism. It's hilarious. It's the Coen Brothers. And it gets better everytime I watch it.
Chocolat- I have to re-watch this every year just because . . .
Pan's Labyrinth- Aren't imaginations so powerful?
Love Me If You Dare- One of the least known, and most powerful, love stories of all time
I am Sam- Sean Penn earned my respect for this one
Mystic River- Powerful in every way
It's a Wonderful Life- Well . . . isn't it? Classic tale of the power of positive (or negative) thought
Best in Show- Christopher Guest (Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman) is at his best in this one
Tsotsi- A South African movie about poverty, growing up and the power of choice
Elizabeth- So interesting because of the look into how far the Catholic Church would go to stake it's claim
The Red Violin- A wonderful look at the history of objects and the power of a story
Thank You for Smoking- The definition of "Irony"
My Left Foot- Daniel Day Lewis' first Oscar and a true story
Sophie's Choice- Powerful . . . nothing more
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner- A classic look at the differences in how we 'say' versus what we 'do'
Citizen Kane- The all-time greatest movie-- and smart, too! Think about: what do great wealth and power achieve?
