Thieves by Law (Воры в законе) (2010): documentary on three Russian mobsters.
Two of them live in France. And only one is actually Russian. In Russian, with English subtitles.

| I think I've already mentioned it, but Kenneth Clark's Civilization and Alastair Cooke's "America" are some of the best things I've ever seen. |

Tetris - From Russia With Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etJgBgSkBuA
I thought this was amazing. Just how did Tetris wind up being packaged with your gameboy? Far crazier than I would have ever guessed. |

King of Kong
http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/king-kong-fistful-quarters/
I've had this conversation a few times:
"Want to watch a documentary about people who compete for the high score in King Kong?"
"...erm..not really my thing, I think..."
"Tell you what, watch 15 minutes and then we'll turn it off if you're not interested?"
---15 minutes passes---
"Shall I change it?"
"DON'T CHANGE IT!" |

Vice guide to Liberia is even better:

FWIIW, the NoKo propaganda ministry used to have insanely awesome docus on their youtube channel. Wish I had the foresight to save them before they were taken down. |

Carlos the Jackal
not exactly a documentary but similar to too big to fail or others of the kind, on Carlos the terrorist and basically the end of a paradigm on the left wing terrorism to the new forms. |

Nonius, I think you'd like this 20-min VICE documentary:
Raving in the Black Sea
It is about the kaZantip festival, in Crimea. Warning: very NSFW!! No explicit content, but lots of topless Russian chicks, tattooed Russian mobsters, and depraved drunken debauchery. |

| Looks like a good family destination. Is there a kids club there? |

Tx for the Vice links, had not seen a single one of them. Wild to say the least.
Recommend "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" & "Exit through the Gift Shop" |
|
|
|
|
| Exit Through the Gift Shop was excellent. Anyone seen Searching for Sugar Man? I sorta get the same vibe from what I've seen/heard about it. |

| Watched the trailer of the sushi movie. Looks good. Will check exit next. |

I also like Exit Through the Gift Shop (obvious from the quote that I've neglected to change for a few years)
I saw the first 15 minutes of Searching for Sugar Man on a plane back from London a month or so ago, but I fell asleep. Seemed ok, but try to avoid looking at any press or information related to the topic or it will ruin the ending for you.
