Endgame: Blueprint for Global Enslavement is one I highly recommend.
If you have seen End of Suburbia and liked it, the same director has come out with a followup called Escape From Suburbia that is supposed to be very good. Right now it is on Long Wait status.

Sweet Misery. Documentary on aspartame, the artificial sweetener found in Nutrasweet, Equal and numerous other products.
Many who believe artificial sweetened sodas are less unhealthy than those that contain sugar should watch this. A definite eye opener.
90 minutes with limited bonus features.

4 1/2 stars

Recently enjoyed watching a bio entitled Alfred Stieglitz An Eloquent Eye about photography and modern American art.

30 Days by Morgan Spurlock of Supersize Me. The episode MINIMUM WAGE and the one in which a Christian man lives with a Muslim family in Dearborn, MI for one month are both very good.

I just watched "Agressives" about women who dress and act like men. It was very interesting!

I've also seen 3 documentaries that I liked very much
1. Girl 27 - About a woman raped by MGM executive and how her story was never told.
2. Auschwitz: Inside the Nazi Estate - Very thorough 4 disc series
3. Deliver Us From Evil - About pedophilia amongst catholic clergy men.

Three Docs I've seen in the past week and can recommend:
1. King Corn=GMO corn and all the things it's used in. Informative and entertaining.
2. Music from the Inside Out=behind-the-scenes lives of some of the Philadelphia Orchestra musicians.
3. Hank Williams: Honky Tonk Blues=great doc on the musician nicknamed the Country Shakespeare.

Next doc in my queue is:
Pipeline Masters=history of the legendary surfing hotspot, the Banzai Pipeline.

SHARKWATER was great! A must-see. I am also watching The Bridge tonight and it looks like it will be very good.
