I watched one recently about the bottled water industry. Forgot the name of it but it only reinforced the idea in my head that bottled water is the ultimate scam. I get mad at my wife when she buys it.

I'm amazed US advertising companies were able to make it chic and trendy, when 20 years ago if you told me you only ever drank bottled water, I would have assumed you were in Mexico or something.

I've been watching the X-Files lately and now I'm in the mood for some UFO or government conspiracy documentaries. I'm trying to avoid anything goofy or overly speculative which looks like is about 99% of what my searches bring up. Definitely not looking for anything like Ancient Aliens or anything stupid like that and I've already seen a bunch about the JFK assassination so nothing about that either.

Not a good "documentary" by any means. One of the worst movies I've ever seen but it does serve a purpose as a time capsule in showing how attitudes towards marine life have changed since it was filmed.  for animals being killed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg_fiUvVJoE quote:Incredibly bombastic narration (the most overblown I’ve ever heard) and some appalling racist “humor” make this 49-minute documentary a jaw-dropping experience. Based in Panama City, Florida, Captain Wallace Caswell is a constable and hunter of ocean predators that foul up the local fishing business. Caswell is described in heroic terms that would embarrass a god. He’s killed sharks with only a knife! He has muscles of steel! Even his binoculars are astoundingly wonderful (“they see far and clear!”). And he has a black cook named Evolution (“Look at Evolution, dark Evolution, humorous Evolution!”) who has a wooden leg and provides bug-eyed comedy relief that Steppin Fetchit would have passed up as too demeaning. Between fights with fish everybody dances around the boat to accordion music (“All week before going into action, Caswell likes to hear a jolly song, a salty sailorman tune! He’s a musical constable! So let the tune ring out with a shout and a fling!”)

I watched Beware of Mr Baker on Netflix and it's great if you like stories about drug addled misanthropes who are terrible to their families. A fantastic talent, but a horrible man.

Are there any documentaries on the way we treat dogs and cats in the US? I've already got Shelter Dogs, Dealing Dogs, One Nation Under Dog (Those 3 are HBO documentaries, and are very good.) and Dark Water Rising, which is about the Katrina rescue efforts.

Louis Theroux did one about dogs in LA, but it isn't on (UK) Netflix yet. Should be easy to find on Youtube and other popular video websites though. It's called Louis Theroux's LA Stories: City of Dogs.

Not exactly to your specifications, but The Last Dogs of Winter is about the Inuit Sled dog that lives alongside Polar Bears in Churchill, Canada, and the effort to preserve them from extinction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--N8Xc-3C3k

The best "serious" documentaries about UFO's are probably the classic Out of the Blue and Visitors From Space Although this is explicitly not what you asked for, I'd really like to recommend people to watch stuff about UFO oddballs. Like this absurd 90's as gently caress interview with a UFO cult by Dead Kennedy's Jello Biafra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TphNS93ebqU Can You Speak Venusian? by Sir Patrick Moore is about an assortment of various independent thinkers who are unshackled by conventional thought: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9bVF_f9hmw And Dan Akroyd who the documentary maker describes as "Einstein hiding inside a comic genius" blabbing for an hour about UFOs is also an entertaining classic IMO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVCd50LXPGY

I watched Pumping Iron and it was pretty average, but I just couldn't stop thinking about how if this had been the last stop of Arnold's fame (i.e. no movies, political future), he would probably be considered a Mark-Borchardt-level classic documentary personality. As it is, however, the film is merely a curiosity.

It just seems not quite big enough to describe that movie. To me, it would be like saying what if Jaws was somehow a massive flop that killed Spielberg's career. American Movie is one of the best documentaries ever, so to be in that company is hardly a quaint curiosity.

Yeah, I guess you're right. The film's got some pretty flat form; it probably wouldn't make a difference if historical circumstances were different.

I watched a documentary on birdwatching in central park last night. I don't really give a poo poo about birds but I wanted to watch a documentary about the park and it delivered in spades. If anyone else knows of any that aren't about the central park five because that poo poo's depressing.

I'd heard good things about Hoop Dreams, and it definitely lives up to the reputation. Check it out on Netflix Instant. However, I looked on wikipedia to see how the fellas were getting along after 94, and was horrified to find out that Arthur's father and William's older brother were both murdered!
