United states movie <a title="Many wonder why an R-rating would be suggested for smoking in a film" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2010 /08/23/smoking-in-films-r-rating/">rating specifications</a> have always been pretty controversial. This Movie is Not Yet Rated. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) made its stance by saying all movies with smoking in them shouldn’t be seen by young teens and kids, therefore giving the films an “R” rating.

'Capturing the Friedmans' is an appalling ommission, as is 'Loose Change', a film absolutely savaged by the military industrial complex and the puppet mainstream media it operates.
'Until the Light Takes Us', a recent documentary on the Norwegian Black Metal movement that went awry and resulted in murders among its musicians said more about the "pseuds" who like the off-the-peg agent-provocateur stylings of Michael Moore and, like Moore, ultimately profit from them, making many millions from Friday-night-che-guevaras with low-budget, poorly researched and supercilious films.

...interesting to see "An Inconvenient Truth" up there, given all the recent controversy and suggestions it's all a farce.
"Supersize Me" is about the dumbest documentary i've ever seen.
Mike Moore went a tad too far with the end of "Fahrenheit 9/11". I appreciate what he was trying to say, but man he went overboard in trying to say it.
"Wal-mart: The High Cost of Living": I appreciate EVERYTHING said here, except i originate from a small-town where receiving a Wal-mart WAS actually a huge boon for the city and actually was a benefit to the smaller businesses (that otherwise were attracting NO business).
A total counterpoint to what the film was trying to argue.

Surprised "Deliver us from Evil" didn't make this list.
A interview with a former catholic priest who openly discusses being a pedophile. But that's not the most shocking part of the Documentary, more shocking that the priests actions is the evidence that suggests the Catholic church not only knew what he was doing, but actually relocated him to various parishes around the United States in an attempt to cover up his crimes.

Try Burma VJ and The Cove, both nominated for this years Best Documentary category. The Academy (AMPAS) always chooses a fine slate of documentaries annually and I highly recommend their selection.

Has anyone at Empire watched Food, inc ??? biggest shocker of all, its not about knowing that the States is the fatest country on earth but the meat industry, the horrendous and diabolical conditions the animals are kept it, the workers are treated no better, how currupt the U.S government is, how e.coli can be found not just in your meat but in your spinach (if anyone in the states actually ate veg it could be a bigger problem than it is - though e.coli is found repeatedly in every state, within the meat, and instead of cleaning the conditions to get rid of the e.coli they just plow more money into keeping people quiet) Didn't think you could patent the soybean? well you can if you genetically modifiy it, then send spys out ruining the small farmer if they save a soybean for the next season or the wind from a neighbouring farm blow the seed into your natural soybean farm. Shocking!!!! Read More
