I like "Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus" with Jim White.

Man Bites Dog is awesome.  Artsy but good.

The Devil's Playground about amish kids.

I saw that castration one on sundance about Eunichs.  Burly. 
There was also a sundance one about people who cut off limbs because "they aren;t part of me".  One dude lived his life with his leg strapped up like it was a stump and missing from the knee down.  Those people make me feel good about myself.



Sundance had a brilliant year with those documentaries, but since then, nothing good. 
I really wanted to see the one about the Amish kids.  Was that a documentary or mini series?  Anybody got it?

What? No mention of "The Dancing Outlaw"?

One of my favorites!  I saw Jesco perform at the Echo Lounge a while back.  He got all f*cked up and almost fell of the stage in the back.  HA!

Dude, Where's My Car.

I've seen a lovely photo of my wife hanging with Jesco and I'm just gonna suffice to say that their eyes were awfully red...... ::)

I agree that Devil's Playground is great.

I also enjoyed The King of Kong----about the champion of King Kong.

born into brothels - about the children of sex workers in india

a lion in the house - childhood cancer patients and their families are followed very closely from diagnosis, through treatement, and in some cases death - made by a husband and wife team whose daughter is a childhood cancer survivor and the wife is now fighting cancer herself

i forgot about promises - fabulous film made by an israeli-american following a group of kids in jerusalem and nearby

I wasn't crazy about Brothels.  Yeah, it's a tragic story but the film-making didn't grab me.
