Almost all the documentaries made by Frederick Wiseman are available for sale at zipporah.com, but Netflix does not carry any of them! Let's please agitate to get Netflix to add some Wiseman films (if not all!).

Hi all, figured I would introduce myself by listing off my "TOP DOCS"

Best doc ever: Grizzly Man

Best food doc: Super Size Me

Best "life is a kick in the crotch" doc: Hoop Dreams

Recently watched 'Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee' and 'Charlie Wilson's War'. In light of upcoming holidays I also recommend for learning while laughing 'What Would Jesus Buy?'

BC It sounds like a cool DOC. Encounters- that is . However Werner has to be one of the most twisted directors i have ever watched. I really have a hard time getting into him . Is it really that good ? or are you a Herzog freak who thinks this guy can do no wrong? I would not like to encounter Werner at the end of the world, for a six pack. Rev.
