Almost forgot, 'Four hours in Mai Lai' you can watch it on youtube, its a doco on the Mai Lai massacre worst war crime committed in US military history has interviews from both sides: Vietnamese who survived and American troops who took part.

Must watch imo.

There have been bigger war crimes committed by Americans. Thanks for the recommendation though. May have to check it out.

EDIT: Great doco.

I know it's old and popular, but just got round to watching The King of Kong. Great documentary, in August this year, Steve Weibe retook the highest score AGAIN! in Donkey Kong~! Go Stevy!

Yeah, i gotta get around to watching that too.

TBH they should make a documentary on Korean gamers around the world 'cause they're good. NIN and alikes

Slaves of the Cyberworld - shows the rough, dirty truth of the state of gold-farming and other such practices that the company IGE bases itself upon. A good, albeit brief, doco where we see the real state of their (the farmers) living and IGE's ignorance over the conditions.

It's on Youtube in two parts. Unable to link while at work sorry.

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room & One day in September would be my fav

Also I thought startup.com was a really interesting topic, but unfortunately not very well done.

yeah, that Enron doco is great.

Stanley Kubrick's Boxes

Quote: A few years after his death, the widow of Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999) asks Jon Ronson to look through the contents of about 1,000 boxes of meticulously sorted materials Kubrick left. Ronson finds that most contain materials reflecting work Kubrick did after the release of "Barry Lindon " in 1975, when Kubrick's film output slowed down. Ronson finds audition tapes for "Full Metal Jacket," photographs to find the right hat for "Clockwork Orange" or the right doorway for "Eyes Wide Shut" -- thousands of details that went into Kubrick's meticulous approach. Ransom believes that the boxes show "the rhythm of genius." Interviews with family, staff, and friends are included.
