I prefer watching documentaries instead of a good movie sometimes..

Two of my favorite sites are http://www.alldocumentaries.org/ and topdocumentaryfilms.com

Depends on how interesting they are and whether it's actually true, I watched a very interesting documentary on anonymous recently.

Right on. Thank you for the link. I personally would much rather watch a documentary than some mindless hollywood movie.. At least you have  the chance to learn something.. Albeit that some documentaries are highly biased.

Committed anti-documentarian. Too much BS too consistently - worse than television news, I'd guess, and it's led to more than a couple humiliations while functioning as if I can even believe high-budget documentaries without fact-checking. People start filming with the goal of making a point and quit caring if facts get in the way mid-way through - they already devoted 500+ hours and tens of thousands of dollars. I just do the online research now instead of doing it later to fact-check after spending time watching a film. Videos in general take too much in resources to make well, so I assume if something's in video format, it's horseshit.

I like to watch documentaries with my daughter because they are thousands of times better than the cartoons for her.

Well for anyone here who did not see any Michael Moore docu, please see one. Just one and you will surely get hooked. Maybe the best docu ive seen is 911 Fahrenheit and The Cove. The cove was great. Its about the killing of Dolphins in Japan. Have to see that too!

Yeah, I like a good documentary, but I can't stand those 'modern' documentaries where everything has to be all techy and seemingly analyzed by computers. I enjoy reports on islands, interesting destinations, other cultures, cities, or just jobs you usually don't know a lot about.

I should have gotten into Bitcoin back in 1992...

I can't imagine anyone hating on documentaries so long as they they are on topics of their interest.

some documentaries are more entertaining to me than most movies. the best one i've seen recently was "the act of killing." it's interesting in that it shows you the perspective of mass murderers and how their actions affect their mental state.

I can't imagine anyone hating on documentaries so long as they they are on topics of his interest.

documentaries can serve political agendas.. there are plenty of them that try to prop both liberal and conservative ideologies. for republicans, look up "danesh d'souza" he spreads a lot of fud. and i'm pretty sure the conservatives here do not like michael moore.

I like documentaries, depends on the topic. But some documentaries repeat their points and commentary so much that a 1 hour documentary can easily be squeezed into half an hour.

well, let's say you are a republican.. and you are interested in the topic of healthcare. if you watched a michael moore movie, you'd hate the shit out of it. i'm not saying who is wrong or right.. but you'd easily end up hating "sicko" as a documentary.

A really eye opener is food inc, which most already know.

But watch Divorce Corp, a billion dollar industry on divorces here in the U.S and you`ll be amazed the divorce rates compared to other countries.

I really like documentaries, if they are well done and not "mockumentaries". I especially like those with few/no comment /special effects where original pictures speak for themselves. Unfortunately most documentaries are as crappy as hollywood movies. But there are some really good ones from independent filmmakers (often in movie length).
