SBrooksHovers between documentary and fiction - but I really like Fatman and Littleboy; about the making of the first atomic bomb.
I also have a couple of DVDs distributed by Y12 weapons plant in Oak Ridge that provide the history of Oak Ridge and uranium enrichment/bomb making.
I also love the cable show "classic album" where they take some great album and walk thru the recording and tracks and little know facts.

I saw it and might still have he DVD. Bob Crumb was weird. Still alive, too.

ammodotcomBitter Lake by British documentarian Adam Curtis. He's produced several documentaries and they're all fascinating.
