[IndieSnob]

I really wish I could remember the name of the documentary/music label it was about.

I just remember it's owned by Captain what's his face and Savage Pencil did quite a few of the drawings for the artists.

Oh, and the Sun City one looks great. Dave Grohl did it and it has a bad ass song with him and Stevie Nicks.

Bad ass and Stevie Nicks don't go together.

 

[brandall]

I really enjoyed Mansome

There was also an interesting documentary which was kind of a "Where are they now" for porn stars - can't think of the title though.

Bad ass and Stevie Nicks don't go together.

She was the cool one in Mac. Its really good.

there was a documentary at the end of the tour. the stone room was filled with delinquent teenagers.

Auschwitz: The Nazis and the 'Final Solution.

Great doc.

yes!

i watched it straight almost straight through.

 

[IndieSnob]

BBC The Life Of Muhammad - 3 part series I got off newsgroups. Really really well done.

Also World War II Behind Closed Doors. Pretty sure it was PBS.

I've seen so many damn WWII docs it's hard to keep track of them all.
