what are the best documentaries you've seen

[Fata Morgana]

You're dead to me.

Wait. You hate Stevie Nicks?

 

[BotanyBoy]

Wait. You hate Stevie Nicks?

She has more than 200 fans....that excludes her from being worth of praise from the hipster community.

 

[IndieSnob]

Wait. You hate Stevie Nicks?

Yes. Horrible fucking voice. Rumors, Tusk, etc. are completely overrated piles of crap.

Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac is the only Fleetwood Mac that is worth a shit.

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Then Play On, English Rose, etc. etc.

I stand corrected

I've ready way too much Sonic Youth shit, it's kind of disturbing.

I think it was about 78 or so when Thurston moved there. He talked a lot about seeing Television, Blondie, Ramones, The Dictators, etc. etc. He was a total punker kid and was running fanzines at the time as well.

I'd associate their 90s period (Goo, Dirty, etc. etc.) with grunge, but not their earlier period. I find it actually hard to classify. That said, their run from 85 to 88 was amazing. Bad Moon Rising, Evol, Sister, than to top it all of Daydream Nation...

I guess I wasn't paying that much attention when Moore was on screen. Most of my attention was on Jarmusch and Lunch--basically the period from '77 to 83-4 when the avant-garde scene was winding down and New Wave (New New Wave?) started taking root.

The movie ended for me when Ed Koch evicted the struggling artists from the tenements (circa 1986). I might need to rewatch it again just to refresh my memory--it's been four months, after all.

And the sequel.

Marjoe. (1972)

A really old one. I looked it up on imdb:

"In his early career as the 4-year-old "World's Youngest Ordained Minister," Hugh Marjoe Ross Gortner became a 'Miracle Child' extraordinaire. Preaching gospel from memory and performing faith healings, he drew capacity crowds as he barnstormed throughout the Bible Belt. Marjoe (his name is a combination of "Mary" and "Joseph") eventually became disillusioned with what he considered a huge deception and withdrew from the scene entirely during his teens. But his God-given talents for drawing an audience and public speaking were to be put to good use later on.

After singing with a rock band, he felt a compulsion to act. The amazing documentary Marjoe (1972), based on his life as a fake evangelist, introduced the public to a new and profoundly hypnotic performer."

Great expose' on God fraud.

You know, I'll just focus on the fact that you thought about me.

I'm flattered.
