Thumbs up Political Documentaries

Does anyone else out there have a large collection of political documentaries? I personally watch them often. I begun a collection even of some of my favourites.

I have mentioned a few of the ones I really like in other threads, but thought a full discussion on which ones are good as well as ones other people might want to share would be a good thread sure.

One of my personal favs which is a few years old now (2003) is Outfoxed. It is a brilliant film about fox news told by former employees and other famous persons. It gives a rare in site into how their news channel works as well as gives information about some of the dodgy techniques various governments are using to spread misinformation to the masses.

There is a good portion of the film which could apply to any news service, not just fox.

I am really awaiting May 28th when Standard Operating Procedure comes out. It was made by the same man who did The Fog Of War, which is another brilliant documentary on war in America.

Faranheit 911 was very good. I love how Michael Moor doe'snt care, he just tells the truth however hard it is to swallow. That's what makes a good documentary.

Awesome; suck it.
