Great thread! I've been getting a little tired of fiction films lately so I've downloaded a whole bunch of docs.

I've heard about this one a long time ago but never got around to seeing it. Thanks for reminding me...(:

As for my favorite documentary:


An amazing story from one of my favorite documentary (try as I might I never really could get into most of his fiction films, Stroszek being the exception) filmmakers about an amazing human being, a German fighter pilot who survived a Vietnamese POW camp. Herzog later made it into a feature film (Rescue dawn) with Christian Bale which I felt was very underwhelming. So if you haven't seen that one, I strongly suggest you go for the documentary instead, it's infinitely more powerful to hear this story being told first hand by the man who went through it all and lived to tell the tale.
