Favorite documentaries

I really enjoyed Beautiful Losers!

Just watched Conan Obrien on 60 minutes. He's so polite!

Yes men save the world was decent. Worth a watch.

Can't find that American masters Neil young really want to see that.

Knowing nothing about climbing this looks to be a good one:

just got done with "tesla: master of lightning"

Visionary inventor Nikola Tesla, the person truly responsible for developing AC power transmission and radio, is the focus of this scientifically accurate documentary, which is based on historical evidence gathered over several years. Through rare visual materials and autobiographical writings, the program sheds light on the often misunderstood genius who had no formal science training yet rivaled contemporaries such as Thomas Edison.

really interesting. begs the question about what happened to all of his papers after his death.

Edison was a little more gangsta.... thats allllll im sayin.

true...they did have the footage of an elephant being electrocuted by edison to show the dangers of AC power.

I don't think all of those fires in Tesla's labs were accidental either. But that's my paranoia talking.

yeah, i'm sure somebody set some of them. however it sounded like tesla had some crazy stuff going in his lab.

Tesla had a few crazy things going on in his head as well, along with his genious, I believe he claimed that he would be able to make a death ray that could kill an entire army in a single shot and that he could split the earth with a handful of explosions in a line around the planet. =) Shows that many great scientists have great imagionations and that sci fi owes a lot to Tesla's imagination.
