Is Senna too obvious a suggestion for a best documentary?

apartmentrec.bsky.social•27 days ago

Senna was the first one that came to mind.

I'd also go with Crumb as there is some truly extraordinary goings on in that film 😅

Crumb is wild

In the cateogry of worst, I'm casting my vote for "The Lives and Deaths of Christopher Lee"

Lee could have a whole documentary that doesn't even mention his acting career, he deserved so much more than what's essentially just a clumsily animated imdb listing.

Crip Camp is an all-time great documentary for me. An extraordinary group of people given the space to tell their stories and avoiding a reductive “disability inspiration” narrative in the process.

Spinal Tap was a documentary right ?

Luther Vandross:Never Too Much was ( mostly ) a fabulous big sparkly hug of a movie with some heartbreaking moments. @asifkapadia.bsky.social makes Senna compelling from start to finish, even for someone with no interest in F1. Honorary mentions for Amy and Maradona, tragic geniuses both.

I was lucky enough to meet (and drink heavily with) Joe Davis when this doco played the Revelation Film Festival in Perth, Western Australia back in the day and, boys, you are not ready for this. https://www.joedavisthemovie.com/

This is the hi-fi sci-fi guy, by the bye.

Going Clear, brilliant exposé of Scienbolloxogy.. Mark Cousins’ The Story of Film.. Peter Jackson’s They Shall Not Grow Old.. 3 docs that really put the work in.

visionsickness.bsky.social•26 days ago

my scientology movie!

Ooh tricky, can you call a documentary a movie?? Let’s put it to @kermodeandmayo.bsky.social

The deepest breath - about freediving coach and safety officer Stephen Keenan and Alicia Zacchinni the record breaking freediver

ruthezzy.bsky.social•27 days ago

The Bee Gees - How can you mend a broken heart, has to be one of the best docs out there. It’s truly a jaw dropping experience, and their story is nothing short of extraordinary. The BG’s output must make many artists hang their heads in shame, so much to be gained from repeated viewings. Love it ♥️
