I've not seen The Great Happiness Space, Dear Zachary, Capturing the Friedmans so I don't know if they would make my list or not. So many documentaries, so little time. Gui, José Padilha and Felipe Lacerda's)Bus 174 is an amazing film, I guess I should squeeze it in and drop a film... Cliff, I've not yet seen Food, Inc. so perhaps I was premature in making my list, I suspect it will be very good, it's on it's way to me right now from Netflix. Andy, as far as "Bowling" not being on the list, well, Mr. Moore's films are not my cup of tea, great entertainment, excellent box office revenue, but not my idea of the documentaries I like to watch and recommend to others...

I was a little disappointed that there were not links to these films. Given the current state of perspective I would have included "the powers of ten" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z53wTtGGA0 although I don't ascribe to all the thinking people want to attach to its meaning.

Both were excellent and address current issues. Super Size Me is a great one for kids to see today. I showed it in my health class that I was teaching to 8th graders. I used the educational version which is cleaned up some of Morgan Spurlock's comments. Nice to see it on the list. 2 other documentaries I saw this year via Netflix that were incredible were King of Kongs and Man on a Wire. It is amazing how far this genre has come. It is good to see Man on a Wire on the list. Amazing story and hearing it from the participants makes it even better.
