Carl's List | Best Documentaries
I will add my opinion to Spurlock's list of best documentaries since I think he is missing some great films. Exit Through The Gift Shop is a fantastic film but to be on the list of greatest documentaries is absurd and I am sure it just makes Bansky laugh out loud to think people really believed his amazing, well planned hoax.
Films he is missing:
- Born Into Brothels (should be near #1)
- Baraka (amazing power without a single word)
- Marwencol
- Microcosmos (One of the best nature docs)
- The Cove
- The Solitary Lives of Cranes
I agree with him on:
- King of Kong
- Touching The Void
- Grizzly Man
- Super Size Me
- Man on Wire
- Spellbound
- March of the Penguins
- Hoop Dreams
