Time for me to pay up for all the great docu.s I've found through this thread. I'm a huge documentary geek and watch at least one a day. If anyone has any requests for videos on a certain topic I can do my best to try and remember something or other.
Some of my recent favorites that I don't remember seeing in this thread are ...
[b]The Union: The Business Behind Getting High[/b]
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9077214414651731007&hl=en
"BC's illegal marijuana trade industry has evolved into a business giant, dubbed by some involved as 'The Union', Commanding upwards of $7 billion Canadian annually. With up to 85% of 'BC Bud' being exported to the United States, the trade has become an international issue. Follow filmmaker Adam Scorgie as he demystifies the underground market and brings to light how an industry can function while remaining illegal. Through growers, police officers, criminologists, economists, doctors, politicians and pop culture icons, Scorgie examines the cause and effect nature of the business - an industry that may be profiting more by being illegal.

[b]Totally Bill Hicks[/b]
http://www.guba.com/watch/2000950423
"A celebration of the comedy of Bill Hicks. The film is structured around the different strains of comedy in the Hicks stand-up, sampling the best of his confrontational performance. Interviewees include two major American chat show hosts, David Letterman and Jay Leno, the actor Eric Bogosian and a wide range of comedians who admired his work including Sean Hughes and Eddie Izzard. There are also anecdotal contributions from his high school friends and an interview with his parents." -imdb.com
[b]Ross Kemp On Gangs[/b]
Ross Kemp goes around the world and does his best to meet up with gangs and violent groups in the given area to find out what motivates them, that makes them unique, and what can be done to stop the violence they cause. I love this show because it goes into the socio-political reasonings for the existence of the groups.

[b]Wal*Mart: The High Cost Of Low Prices (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)[/b]
http://www.moviesfoundonline.com/wal-mart_high_cost_of_low_prices.php
"This documentary takes the viewer on a deeply personal journey into the everyday lives of families struggling to fight Goliath. From a family business owner in the Midwest to a preacher in California, from workers in Florida to a poet in Mexico, dozens of film crews on three continents bring the intensely personal stories of an assault on families and American values." -imdb.com
[b]Carts of Darkness (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)[/b]
http://www.moviesfoundonline.com/carts_of_darkness.php
"Murray Siple's feature-length documentary follows a group of homeless men who have combined bottle picking with the extreme sport of racing shopping carts down the steep hills of North Vancouver. This subculture depicts street life as much more than the stereotypes portrayed in mainstream media. The film takes a deep look into the lives of the men who race carts, the adversity they face and the appeal of cart racing despite the risk. Shot in high-definition and featuring tracks from Black Mountain, Ladyhawk, Vetiver, Bison, and Alan Boyd of Little Sparta."
[b]The Punk Rock Movie (1978)[/b]
http://www.moviesfoundonline.com/punk_rock_movie.php
"A revealing look into the bands comprising the 1978 London punk-rock scene, and a peek back-stage at the lives behind the facade. Includes performances by Sex Pistols, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Eater, and other concurrent bands." -imdb.com
[b]Dan Akroyd Unplugged On UFOs (WATCH THIS NOW)[/b]
http://www.moviesfoundonline.com/dan_aykroyd_unplugged_on_ufos.php
"Dan Aykroyd Unplugged on UFOs explores past and present sightings from around the world with shocking real footage, much of it never before seen, that will leave even the most skeptical viewers scratching their heads. Along with the fascinating collection of stunning eyewitness videos, Akroyd reveals his own vast knowledge of the strange and paranormal as he explores in detail his views on conspiracy theories, military secrets, and how UFO technology is currently part of our everyday lives! " -imdb.com
[b]David Icke: Was He Right[/b]
http://www.moviesfoundonline.com/david_icke_was_he_right.php
1/2 political docu. / 1/2 David Icke Bio.
100% Recommended if you got a hankerin' for strange.
[b]Situation Critical - The North Hollywood Shootout[/b]
http://www.moviesfoundonline.com/situation_critical_north_hollywood_shootout.php
"One of the most dramatic police gun battles ever waged on American soil. On February 28, 1997, two notorious criminals - dubbed the High Incident Bandits - carry out an armed robbery inside a Hollywood bank. They are spotted by undercover officers, and police act quickly to surround the bank. But the bandits are armed with thousands of imported steel-plated bullets, full body armor and five machine guns, including three AK-47s. Go inside the violent stand-off."
[b]Louis Theroux Wild Weekend (BBC)[/b]
Louis is, imho, an annoying overtly british interviewer who interviews some of the most interesting people on earth, the most extreme.
