As someone who didn't know anything about PID conspiracy theory it was pretty amazing to watch. However, I also think it's a bunch of crap. First off, this photo was definitely taken after 1966 and there are clearly 2 legs present. Also, Heather Mills was born in 1968 so she wasn't even a fetus at the time of Paul's "death".
It is entertaining and i thank you for the link. Yes the "Paul Is Dead" rumor has been around since the 60's.

It's really weird that some people just won't let that type of thing go, isn't it? Die hard Jim Morrison fans believe he's still alive, Elvis has been sighted everywhere...it's amazing what some people are willing to believe.

I love documentaries! I'm a sucker for ones on "classic" celebs - Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin etc. I love true crime and watch 20/20, Primetime, Dateline almost every week. The Manson Family and other famous crimes (I was scared of hippies in my childhood due to the Manson family, so I thnk this is my adult way of controlling the fear! lol). Documentaries on sexuality and human interest. Cryptozoology as well - give me something on Sasquatch, Yeti, Loch Ness Monster etc and I'm glued to the TV!

One specific documentary I didn't see listed here is "Crazy Love". An odd story about a couple who date in the 50s and break up. He throws acid in her face in revenge. Years later they marry. Very weird but fascinating.

I am a huge fan of docs, especially docs that are either experimental/ silent or focusing on fringe topics.
Has anyone here seen Jesus Camp or Koyaanisqatsi?

I'm a huge fan of docs as well. Several I've enjoyed and have on dvds are Capturing the Friedmans. Joan Rivers-A Piece of Work. Dominick Dunne After the Party. Divine Trash a doc on John Waters Party Monster the original doc on Michael Alig. Limelight the doc on Peter Gatien who owned the Limelight where Michael Alig got his start. One interesting note there's a new doc out called I Am Divine. It's about John Waters "Liz Taylor" It's making the rounds of the gay film festivals around the country.

I didn't mention it in 2011, for some reason - but I also enjoy the Louis Theroux documentaries. You can find many of them on YouTube. I like his approach - it's very unique. Often educational and always entertaining.

Love documentaries in theory but in practice can't find many I like.

Adam Curtis films anyone? Century of the Self, etc?
oh and of couse David Attenborough nature classics like Life in the Undergrowth...

@yeahyeahyeah_9 - yep Koyaanisqatsi is great, never really considered it as a documentary but you're right. *goes to listen to Pruit Igoe*

I saw that one. The title is spot on. You should have put a spoiler alert on your post though as it's when the viewer discovers how things turn out (mind blown) that really effects the impact of the film. But that lady was nuttier than him imo.

Oops. Sorry. It happened such a long time ago and it was in the description of of the documentary when I watched it, so I never even thought about it! My bad. :oops:

But I agree. She had to be crazier than him. Who does that?! Personally, that just might be a deal breaker. But maybe that's just me and you.
