The Devil and Daniel Johnston - 2005: Quote:Biodoc about Daniel Johnston, a multitalented man, a compulsively prolific cartoon artist, song writer and performer, whose bipolar disorder and drug abuse led to episodes of severe mental illness and destructive behaviors, beginning in his early 20s, in the 1980s, problems that stifled his career for many years, until consistent psychiatric care and kindly parental oversight effected a more stable course for him more recently. Now approaching age 45, Johnston has made a comeback of sorts, reaching a level of artistic self control and productivity that has swept him toward unprecedented recognition.

The Secret YouBBC Horizon - a fascinating look at the more scientific approach as to what generates consciousness. There is a limited look at the philosopy behind it, but nothing "alternative". There is a really interesting experiment involving a recreation of "remote viewing" which is amazing. He is also careful to show how science has massively progressed our understanding, but is still someway short of fully explaining consciousness. Oh great - the world has just been replaced by elf machinery.

Century of Self http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-678466363224520614#docid=2641575773935962254"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized." - Edward Bernays Adam Curtis' acclaimed series examines the rise of the all-consuming self against the backdrop of the Freud dynasty. "To many in both politics and business, the triumph of the self is the ultimate expression of democracy, where power has finally moved to the people. Certainly the people may feel they are in charge, but are they really? The Century of the Self tells the untold and sometimes controversial story of the growth of the mass-consumer society in Britain and the United States. How was the all-consuming self created, by whom, and in whose interests? The Freud dynasty is at the heart of this compelling social history. Sigmund Freud, founder of psychoanalysis; Edward Bernays, who invented public relations; Anna Freud, Sigmund's devoted daughter; and present-day PR guru and Sigmund's great grandson, Matthew Freud. Sigmund Freud's work into the bubbling and murky world of the subconscious changed the world. By introducing a technique to probe the unconscious mind, Freud provided useful tools for understanding the secret desires of the masses. Unwittingly, his work served as the precursor to a world full of political spin doctors, marketing moguls, and society's belief that the pursuit of satisfaction and happiness is man's ultimate goal. This film was produced by BBC which is Britain's government run news channel, therefor it downplays the evils of government and plays up the vices of business. The enemy is not capitalism or 'consumption' but government and its insidious propaganda. Mass produced goods enrich society because they reduce the amount of time a person has to work to satisfy one's essential needs. Government propaganda debases society because it is used as an excuse for everything from murderous wars of aggression to oppressive economy killing taxation and regulation. When a business sells you something voluntarily you will only buy it if you think the product is worth more than the price you have to pay for it. When the government propagandizes you they are merely giving you excuses to submit to their use of force which will be bearing down on you whether you like it or not. The two are very different and this film does a disservice by confusing them. That said, it's important to understand the propagandists who serve to justify the crimes of the state. Selling someone a product they don't truly need hurts no one, selling people on a war they don't need gets millions of people murdered and destroys entire societies."

Very logical, easily understood film based around a single interview. As much as I was turned off by a full length film of one man talking, it is structured very well. Easy to follow, and encourages critical thinking and self preservation, while explaining in detail what is happening with the global economy. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1503769/Collapse Quote:A documentary on Michael Ruppert, a police officer turned independent reporter who predicted the current financial crisis in his self-published newsletter, From the Wilderness.
From the acclaimed director of American Movie, this portrait of radical thinker Michael Ruppert explores his apocalyptic vision of the future, spanning the crises in economics, energy, environment and more. Mr. Ruppert also was a whistle blower of CIA involvement with drug smuggling. I really enjoyed this movie. His point of view is similar to that of many nexians I've come to know. If you can keep going through the end, you'll see he describes issues about this very eloquently. Do not listen to anything, "Steely" says. He is a made up character that his owner likes to role play with. His owner is very delusional and everything he says is completely untrue and ridiculous.

The Cove - Just watch it. About dolphin hunting in Taiji, Japan and the toxic meat from it that is served to unsuspecting Japanese folks. A real eye-opener, not just one of the documentaries that pisses you off. All post are made by SWIM. I am not SWIM.

Just pointing out that the BBC is not government run. It does take some grants from the government, but it is funded by the license fee and operates under a Royal Charter. They generally have a pretty balanced view. Oh great - the world has just been replaced by elf machinery.

Inside JobGreat documentary on the financial collapse and how it was engineered. Believe it won the Oscar for best documentary this year. I also liked Collapse...though I am currently more a proponent of the Abiotic Oil Theory. 9000 NeedlesAfter suffering a devastating stroke, 40 year-old Devin Dearth travels to Tianjin, China, seeking Traditional Chinese Medicine as an alternative to US health care. An amazing story of recovery when modern medicine claimed there was nothing they could do for him. What, you ask, was the beginning of it all?
And it is this...
Existence that multiplied itself
For sheer delight of being
And plunged into numberless trillions of forms
So that it might
Find
Itself
Innumerably.

I second Spicegnosis' Adam Curtis recommendation but extend that to all of his documentaries. They are available Here as well as this one: The way of all flesh which I highly recommend to any of the more scientific minds on this board. I'll add Big River Man which is an absolutely amazing documentary, possibly the best I've seen in terms of content and delivery. Highly recommended, it is about a mad Slovenian drunk marathon swimmer who decides to swim the Amazon (and sets a world record in the process). The film emerges into an immensely surreal state of affairs which should warm the hearts of all the Amazon lovers on this board, of which I am sure there are quite a few. موز

Nearly four hours in total,and some of it goes over my head,but would highly recommend this one. http://www.secretsinplainsight.com/Synopsis from the makers : Secrets In Plain Sight is an awe inspiring exploration of great art, architecture, and urban design which skillfully unveils an unlikely intersection of geometry, politics, numerical philosophy, religious mysticism, new physics, music, astronomy, and world history. Exploring key monuments and their positions in Egypt, Stonehenge, Jerusalem, Rome, Paris, London, Edinburgh, Washington DC, New York, and San Francisco brings to light a secret obsession shared by pharaohs, philosophers and kings; templars and freemasons; great artists and architects; popes and presidents, spanning the whole of recorded history up to the present time. As the series of videos reveals how profound ancient knowledge inherited from Egypt has been encoded in units of measurement, in famous works of art, in the design of major buildings, in the layout of city streets and public spaces, and in the precise placement of obelisks and other important monuments upon the Earth, the viewer is led to perceive an elegant harmonic system linking the human body with the architectural, urban, planetary, solar, and galactic scales

I love Egyptian documentaries (particularly as modern as possible), and this one was great. It's funny how they always show the French architect to say something that they're about to completely and totally disagree with. "Science without religion is lame.

Atum appears on the smell of his censing, the Sunshine- god has risen in the sky, the Mansion of the pyramidion is in joy and all its inmates are assembled, a voice calls out within the shrine, shouting reverberates around the Netherworld." - Egyptian Book of the Dead

There are some really terrific suggestions in this thread. sidefx, I actually just finished watching Aya Awakenings a few hours ago. I am very impressed with it  As long as this thread is being revived, I suppose I'll throw a couple of recent discoveries and long-time favorites up here. I am really horrible at summarizing, so I will just write a quick sentence or two regarding the topic of each film. I really encourage people to look into these films further, rather than just pass judgement based on my words. Neurons to Nirvana: Understanding Psychedelic Research (2013) - ... About recent research in the field of psychedelics (obviously ). Dirty Pictures (2010) - About Anne and Sasha Shulgin and where they stand in relation to modern psychedelics research. How To Make Money Selling Drugs (2012) - Very interesting documentary about the American War on Drugs. I really like the unique format of it. The House I live In (2012) - Another very interesting documentary about the American War on Drugs. Available to stream on Netflix, I believe. American Drug War: The Last White Hope (2008.) - ... Do I really need to say anything here?  Yet another fantastic film about the American War on Drugs. Manifesting The Mind (2009) - General information about the history of and the current state of psychedelics. Athene's Theory of Everything (2011) - This film blows my mind every time I watch it. I really don't think I would be doing it justice by trying to summarize it, but I will say that I highly recommend it. Particularly for those who have an interest in modern science. I really like the mood this film sets when I watch it before a journey. For me it tends to encourage deep thought patterns and exploration of my beliefs regarding the "unknown". I don't necessarily believe/agree with every single aspect of every theory presented in the film, but I enjoy anything that encourages such powerful thought patterns. This film is available to stream on YouTube.Happy viewing!
