I want to see some good documentaries. Recommend some!

Not along the lines of Farenheit 9/11, more like along the lines of the Corporation or Control Room.

1. Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room

It's still playing in theaters, so maybe you can catch it on the big screen.

So well done. A story of massive fraud at the intersection of big business and the highest levels of government.

3. If you like movies, this one is a must-see

Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse

It's a documentary on the making of Apocalypse Now, filmed by Coppola's wife. It is absolutely brilliant, and in ways more riveting than the movie itself.

It's worth watching just for the scene where you SEE Coppola wanting to kill Dennis Hopper (who was higher than a kite and making filming rather difficult). It's the best murderous look I've ever seen.

4. The Fog of War is a good one

And check out The Fifth Estate's website (it's a Canadian investigsative journalism documentary show) http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/

They put full episodes online. Two worth watching would be "The Unauthorized Biography of Dick Cheney" and "Sticks and Stones" (about the concept of 'liberal bias' in American mainstream media).

6. Outfoxed, The War room, A Perfect Candiate

8. The Lifestyle: Group Sex in the Suburbs

http://www.7thart.com/current/lifestyle/thelife.html

Directed by David Schisgall

Known to outsiders as "swinging," the Lifestyle-as swingers call it-has quietly grown in the nineties. Every state except North Dakota now has at least one swing club. The swingers themselves estimate that three million Americans are involved in organized group sex.

THE LIFESTYLE is the first in-depth account of this undiscovered subculture that exists amidst our suburbs and small towns. No extensive investigation of swinging has appeared in America in any medium in over twenty-five years, but now those who participate are ready to talk about the 'how and why' of swinging.

Director David Schisgall spent over three years getting to know members and leaders of the Lifestyle and documenting their dreams, hopes, and beliefs. Like most Americans, they want family, marriage, and limitless sexual indulgence, except unlike most Americans, members of the Lifestyle feel they have attained all three. Right now swingers-conservative and suburban as they are-are the vanguard of our ongoing American revolution to encourage the pursuit of happiness and permit more personal freedom.

Perhaps, in a hundred years, swinging will become the accepted norm-traversing the route of, say, oral sex, from taboo to normal practice. On the other hand, the rise of swinging may represent the decline of a decadent, materialist society.

Your trip through this new, unexplored lifestyle will take you past drawn shades and behind closed doors. Then decide for yourself.
