Weird (yet interesting) Documentaries

StevieNicksFan · 2012-03-25 21:19:52

In the mood for watching a good doc tonight. Can anybody recommend a good one? Saw a really interesting yet weird one recently about a 'humanzee' called Oliver who was a chimp but resembled a human (it's on youtube). It was bizzare and kinda freaked me out but it was really good! I also love one's that investigate…

I also love one's that investigate crimes/serial killers and how they were caught before D.N.A. Usually chance and good fortune lead these cnuts to jail.

Any recommendations?

I found this relatively interesting.

Also, this is quite a good site. For YouTube videos and ****.

Dear Zachary.

Not exactly weird, but very emotive.

All watched over by machines of loving grace. Very weird and very good.

Or if you want to go completely off the map watch Collapse. It's basically one guy speaking for an hour and a half and it will scare the bejesus out of you.

A documentary on Michael Ruppert, a police officer turned independent reporter who predicted the current financial crisis in his self-published newsletter, From the Wilderness.

It might be morbid but I found this documentary to be fascinating

Herzog, Encounters at the end of the world.

Its about the Mc Murdo station on the Antarctic and the weirdos that gather there. You even have back packers, prostitutes, and truly mad scientists. Its just a very unhuman environment and if you are there to long you will go bonkers.

But hand on my heart I would love to go there, I will sometime. But I don't intend to stay.

Dear Zachary was incredible. Definitely one of the best I have ever, ever seen.

Food Inc is good, but tough to watch. The Up series is good, but long - it has been following a group of children from the age of 7 in 1964 right up to the present. I watched all episodes in less than a week, I was totally addicted.

Surf wise is good too. The devil and daniel johnson is really incredible too.

I watch a lot of documentaries on topdocumentaryfilms.com

Another good (and weird) Adam Curtis documentary; it has no dialogue, but is perfect light viewing (lots of great music); It Felt Like A Kiss:
