Could you please link to this top 100 list? I'm having trouble finding one for docs on rottentomatoes.

Retired professor is diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, goes to Switzerland for assisted suicide. So far it's really sad (I haven't gotten to the deed yet). He doesn't believe in any afterlife, but the pain his disease is causing both himself and his loved ones makes him want to stop. So terrifying and another reminder that we should enjoy every moment o good health we have.

Title: Frontline: The Suicide Tourist

Very brave couple in that program.

It's probably been linked before, but here's Frontline's webpage with their videos, including the one above:

Pretty much can't go wrong with any of their videos, imo.

One of the more spine-tingling episodes I watched recently was "The Confessions", original airdate 11.9.10:

"Eight men charged. Five confessions. But only one DNA match. Why would four innocent men confess to a brutal crime they didn't commit?

In The Confessions, FRONTLINE producer Ofra Bikel (Innocence Lost, An Ordinary Crime) investigates the conviction of four men -- current and former sailors in the U.S. Navy -- for the rape and murder of a Norfolk, Va., woman in 1997. In the first television interviews with the "Norfolk Four" since their release, Bikel learns of some of the high-pressure police interrogation techniques -- the threat of the death penalty, sleep deprivation, intimidation -- that led each of the men to confess, despite the lack of any evidence linking them to the crime."

There's Something Wrong With Aunt Diane-Wow.

I know a lot of people watched Paradise Lost about the West Memphis 3. Two of them will be released from prison tomorrow.

Anyone seen Senna yet? Super good imo, can't believe it hasn't been mentioned.

cliffs?

+1 to exporting raymond . watched it last night and enjoyed it very much .really funny .

I'm planning to watch "Lucky" (2010), Marwencol (2010), Bomb it (2008), In the Shadow of the Moon (2007), Monopoly (2008), and Quantum Hoops (2007). I'll give my thoughts after each one.

A documentary on Brazilian Formula One racing driver Ayrton Senna, who won the F1 world championship three times before his death at age 34.

ty.

I watched this one recently. It says a surprising amount about the demographic that is attracted to the lottery.

watching HBO Superheroes right now. i don't know whether to laugh at them or cry.

I watched most of Quantum Hoops. It's about the Cal tech College and their basketball team, how they go on ridiculous losing streaks. I'm enjoying it so far, it reminds my of the one year I played basketball where I didn't get a single basket until halfway through the season. I feel like I could almost qualify for the Cal Tech team.

7.5/10

"Things were looking up for the Cal Tech team when Huck Seed joined but he dropped out to pursue a life of gambling" LOL

Finished watching "Lucky". Shows a few lottery winners and how their lives have changed after the win for better or for worse.

7.5/10

If you saw Paradise Lost already, I'd highly recommend watching the follow up sequel "Revelations."

really well done and well worth watching.

Please watch part 2 revelations...such a mind **** I can't stop thinking about and way more complex and confusing, interesting, and tragic than the first IMO. Had me reading and looking into the case to try and figure out whodunnit.

CurrentTV is running a special series counting down the "50 documentaries to see before you die" hosted by Morgan Spurlock, who does interviews with directors and characters. I don't have this channel though, and obviously there's a lot of overlap with other lists like above, anyone watching this? Bunch of short teaser video clips on the site, here:

http://current.com/shows/fifty-documentaries/videos/

The final grouping countdown - 10-1 - will air on August 30th. You can see 50-11 lists from the episodes page.

teenage paparazzo, really good movie on hbo go about a 13year old paparazzi and his growth as a person/photographer. interactions with the lead from entourage...really good.

I'm sure that list won't have any kind of political bias...

senna def very good - just finished watching it and thought it was really well made
