Comments on: five favorite documentaries http://www.johnsenclan.com/wordpress/2008/05/28/five-favorite-documentaries/ Ooooh, Aaah. That comes first. Then later there's running and screaming.

King of Kong was one of my favorite movies of last year, I can't believe I forgot it! And I really enjoyed New York Doll, it was depressing and fascinating. Every Mormon interested in music (actually, anyone interested in music) should see it. I'll have to watch your other choices, they sound great. Ugh, I now need to rethink this post. My real list would probably replace the War Room with King of Kong, and New York Doll would definitely be up in my top ten. Oh no, your list makes me wish I’d thought about this more.

Hoop Dreams is on it. I forgot about Penguins, I'll have to add it. (Haven't seen it.) And I'll check out these others. Here's my list: 1. King of Kong - one of the funniest movies I've seen this year. Buy it, you'll want to keep it, and lend it to people you know. 2. New York Doll - my worlds collide: rock music and the LDS church. Rather trippy. 3. I Have Never Forgotten You - about Simon Wiesenthal. If you can handle holocaust stories, it's a good one. 4. God Grew Tired of Us - about a few of the Lost Boys of Sudan who come to America. Really interesting. It's funny to see them learning about modern conveniences. They don't know what the packet of butter is on the plane, etc. 5. Before the Music Dies - not really in my top 5, but worth watching if you're a music fan. Made by music fans about the current state of the music industry. Some great funny moments featuring Erykah Badu. I actually just made a list of documentaries I want to see. Hoop Dreams is on it.
