    This is very well done. Not incredibly informative as in some science/history/biograpy you didn't know, but entertaining with a few good points.

    "See, now's the time of the meal when you start getting the McStomach ache. You start getting the McTummy. You get the McGurgles in there. You get the McBrick, then you get the McStomach ache. Right now I've got some McGas that's rockin'. My arms... I feel like I've got some McSweats goin'. My arms got the McTwitches going in here from all the sugar that's going in my body right now. I'm feeling a little McCrazy."

    Wow nobody?

    "The Grizzly Man Diaries"

    Timothy Treadwell

    The actual documentary is like 3 hours long and should be seen all at once... I know they cut it down to smaller versions recently.

    Also as someone mentioned: Hoop Dreams (1994) - just one of the best period
