I personally find Zeitgeist to be too forceful in its presentation.
The intro really put me off...
"THEY'RE ALL LYING TO YA! IF YOU TAKE THEIR SIDE, YOU'RE MESSING WITH DIVINE JUSTICE!"

Which is why I like Century of the Self much more:

Before the music dies. I think its on Youtube, but I may have seen it somewhere else. Highly recommended.

Or:

Breaking the Chains, a documentary on Easy Rider. Easily one of the funniest, fastest paced movie-about-a-movie I've ever watched.

i dunno if they're on youtube but the films of errol morris are cool.....the thin blue line is priceless......also check out harlan county usa,the willmar 8,and the hormel strike if labor/union stuff interests.....viet nam era stuff like hearts and minds,or heart of darkness,the film about the making of apocalypse now....the canook viet nam series 10000 day war is excellent but i think it has been renamed under the world at war series......

just came back from visiting one of only 2 lancaster bombers still flying......the story of pilot officer andrew mynarski,who was from here is a great story,as are the ruhr dams raids,and the sinking of the turpitz

If you have netflix these should be available and I enjoyed them all

"Breaking the Mayan code"
about deciphering the Mayan half pictographic, half syllabic language.

"Maxed-out"
About consumer credit.

"Out Foxed"
It's about FOX news.

"It Might Get Loud"
Music documentary built around interviews and a round table with Jack White, Jimmy Page and the Edge.

EDIT: Lol I missed the part about youtube.

Although I'm not a fan, the 5 part "Real Norwegian Black Metal" series was interesting.

The Power of Nightmares:

Part 1 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O18H...eature=related

I think there are ten parts total.

This one is fun too if you are a hockey/Flyers fan and it's in HD.
