If you haven't seen IOUSA yet then you absolutely have to. it's pretty scary stuff. also the online doc i mention on my blog below is pretty cool. please post some of your own faves on here if you get time. thanks.
man on wire is a must see if you haven't checked it, Tyson is also pretty amazing - you forget how much of an incredible athlete he was but still not convinced about the 'it wasn't me guv' act. You have to watch King of Kong if you haven't heard of it. buy it on ebay now if you are an old arcade gamer you will shit your pants laughing. it's the best doc i've ever seen i think.
