Will add "The Art of the Steal" to those available on Netflix Instant.

Capturing the Friedmans is a good one too that hasn't been mentioned.

Some that I have off the top of my head (I've seen most, but still need to watch a couple):

King of Kong - Donkey Kong/arcade records
Art of the Steal - Barnes collection
Bigger, Faster, Stronger* - steroids in sports
I.O.U. - U.S. debt
The Cove - dolphin killings in Japan
The Bridge - Golden Gate Bridge suicides
Night and Fog - Holocaust
Magic and Bird: A Courtship of Rivals - awesome doc about their relationship
Dear Zachary - completely fricked up, but hellishly interesting, about Andrew Bagby and the
102 Minutes That Changed America - 9/11
Waking Sleeping Beauty - Disney Animation's rise in the late 80s and 90s
Cocaine Cowboys - Miami drug shippers in the 80s
Jesus Camp - fricked up and honestly scary look at super religious people and their kids
Capturing the Friedmans - 80s child molestation case against the Friedmans
H.H. Holmes: America's First Serial Killer

I just watched 'Running the Sahara' and liked it. 3 dudes ran across africa. 4,000+ miles in 111 days. Freaking insane.


A friend just recently told me I should watch 'Pulling John'. Appparently one guy has basically been the world champion arm wrestler for the last 25 years.

Simcha is an absolute joke and has less credibility than the National Enquirer.


OP, try Fr. Robert Barron's Catholicism.
