Pros: The origional footage and interviews.
Cons: Have to be interested in the subject matter.

great historical peice on an early ace of WWI. gives some insight into the "Red Baron" as a person and early aviation in combat. these planes were built of cloth and wood, but the pilots were made of steel. if early aviation is your thing this film delivers. The origional footage is great and helps to tell the story.

Pros: A little runt of a horse that was everyman's dream.
Cons: Nothing

This film not only gives us some history into a horse that became a legend, but also helps to describe the people in the U.S. at that time. unemployment was rampant, a few living well and everyone barely existing. This horse represented the best in people, and as he won so did they. He made the people around him better as well as the fans who loved him.

Pros: Gives some history on the underground movement.
Cons: Nothing

Being a comic book fan from the early 1970s on, I was always familiar with Crumb's work. This gave me some insights into the man as well as the time frame that spawned him. It was also interesting to see some of his collaborators and competition.

Pros: The everyman attitude of the "Grizzly Man"
Cons: The everyman attitude of the "Grizzly Man".

This film realy touched me as I to am a nature photographer. A man who lived for the Bears, who eventually succombed to one. Well worth seeing.

Pros: The concert footage
Cons: It was shot in 1969!

This is one of the all time great Rock Documentaries. Even if you do not like the Stones, the footage of Hell's Angels acting as security was quite interesting especially if needless violence is your thing. The concert was held at Altamount Speedway in California. What origionally was to be a free concert by the Stones as well as others (Jefferson Airplane to name one) degenerates into an incredible scene as Hell's Angels fight with the audience, beating and in one case killing fans of the band. Violence aside it still is worth seeing just for the Stones alone who were the pre eminent Rock Band in the worls at that time.
