Document This!

My brother turned me onto this site that streams documentary films for free, http://snagfilms.com/ not to be confused with http://stagfilms.com/. I don't read much anymore, so documentaries tend to fill that gap in my psyche that craves useless information about random topics. I'm "that guy" who often interjects into conversations with the line "Oh yeah, I saw a documentary on that."

Like last year there was that guy in Seattle who died from a ruptured colon, while fucking a horse. I actually watched a documentary called Zoo that discussed his association with a secret society of beastiality lovers. They would have parties and then guys would slip off into the barn to do their thing. Overall the documentary sucked, so I wouldn't recommend it, but I now have some useless knowledge about this society that is bouncing around my synapses. I can't do basic algebra anymore, but if you need details on Seattle horse fuckers, I'm your man.

Here is a list of my top 25 of all time. I left out some of the more popular titles, like the Michael Moore, Al Gore and Morgan Spurlock films because I'm sure you already know about those.

I'm not sure if all of these documentaries are on the site above, but they are all on Netflix. You can also catch a lot of these on the IFC and Sundance channels. Feed your heads children, feed your heads.

As a side note, and one of total embarassment, the first movie I rented from Netflix was Bring it On back in 2001. WTF? I must have been at home going, I really need to see the Toros and Clovers fight it out in the cheerleading arena, but not quite enough for me to head down to Blockbuster. I'm going to try this new Netflix service, so I can get my Kirsten Dunst fix without leaving the privacy of my own home. Holy shit, I just noticed the second movie I rented was The Virgin Suicides. A double dose of Dunst!!! Somebody please stick a plunger on my chest.
