I just watched "Internet's Own Boy" about Aaron Swartz, was one of the best I've seen in a while. He founded a bunch of websites and helped "invent" RSS feeds when he was 13!

Not exactly science related, but I found Home(2009) to be very interesting (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1014762/).

Capitalism: A Love Story
This film makes you think. It makes you angry. It makes you want to do something, and that's okay. That is what a film is supposed to do. It is designed to evoke some sort of emotion and help spring it forth.

We'll yeah isn't that the point of most documentaries?

I also like Maxed Out. It's about the credit card business.

Free to play - http://store.steampowered.com/app/245550/

It's about 3 pro gamers trying to make a living playing Dota2. It's a pretty game documentary.

Side note: This year's dota2 tournament prize pool is over $10million.

"Man, Myth, Mathematician - Pythagoras of Samos - Genius" & "What the Ancients Knew - Greece" - It boggles my mind what the ancient greeks knew, and what they calculated without modern computers.

"Phil Schneider - D.U.M.B.S (Underground Bases, Alien Greys, New World Order) HQ FULL LENGTH" - This is the craziest nonsense conspiracy video i have ever seen, worth a laugh. Basically this guy is some high up engineer who lost his hand in a battle with aliens, and there are secret bases underground where human vs aliens battle is taking place. Would make a good movie script.

must watch documentary films? preferably about science but all topics are accepted  Cheesy

Thanks!  Smiley

Ohhohohoho I love documentaries.

Check out Fat Head.  This computer scientist did an excellent job pointing out the facts of the food and health industry as well as government.

There is also Food Inc. but that's very bias and eggs people to go organic and vegan.  Does point out things about the food industry that I found interesting.
