I saw a weird documentary yesterday called Tickled. It starts off looking at the world of professional tickling competitions but quickly turns into something else. It's actually not a well made doc in terms of production but the strangeness and darkness of it kept me watching from start to finish.
Anyway, now I wanna check out more docs. I'm not that well versed in the genre but I'm very open to any subject matter. I've seen the zeitgeist-y ones like Making a Murderer, The Jinx, and O.J.: Made in America. I've seen the super acclaimed ones like The Act of Killing and Look of Silence and probably most of the ones that got some mainstream attention over the years like Bowling for Columbine, March of the Penguins, Super Size Me, Deliver Us from Evil, An Inconvenient Truth, Waltz with Bashir, Dear Zachary, Room 237...there must be plenty more.
I've seen (relatively) older ones like The Thin Blue Line, Koyaanisqatsi, F for Fake, and Hoop Dreams.
I've seen wrestling docs like Beyond the Mat and GLOW.
Finally, yup, I've seen Indie Game: The Movie.
Also, I want to get into Werner Herzog docs but it's like a mile long and I kinda want to start from some of his earlier work. Does anyone know a good one to start with?
Again, please just one suggestion per person. Movies are preferred though I am eyeing The Keepers... Did anybody see that doc series or watching it atm? You have any thoughts?
