I've watched 5 documentaries on there so far, including Michael Moore's "Sicko," for free. Another flick that I'd highly recommend is "The War On Democracy."

War on Democracy

"The War on Democracy" is a 2007 documentary film directed by Christopher Martin and John Pilger. Focusing on the political state of Latin America, the film is a rebuke of both the United States' intervention in foreign countries' domestic politics, and its war on terrorism.


You'll probably need a high speed connection to watch the films.

Edited for typo.

1. Wow! Thanks Droopy! That's an excellent site!
I've already seen some of those films but I am definitely going to be going back there soon. I definitely want to see War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death by Normon Solomon and Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky. If you haven't seen Shut Up and Sing with The Dixie Chicks I highly recommend it! I gained even more respect for Natalie and her sidters after watching it. Thanks again!:hi:

2. You're very welcome
Manufacturing Consent is one of my all time favorite documentaries. I own a copy of it and lend it out without prejudice. :) I will check out the Dixie Chicks flick.

8. I don't know what the problem could be
Edited on Sun Mar-23-08 10:12 AM by Droopy
I checked with my computer to see if the site was experiencing problems. It worked ok for me. Do you think there could be some kind of software that you are missing that would allow you to watch the films?

11. If y'all do get this site
may I recommend "Hearts and Minds" if you haven't seen it?

Powerful classic Viet Nam era film, too reminiscent of today.

I remember watching it in Seattle and I don't think there was a dry eye in the theater.

ty for the site recommend, btw.....:hi:
