Re: What Documentaries Influenced You Most and Why?

Since '86-'91 seem to be my formidable years, I will pick films from that timeframe:

Bruce Webber's "Let's Get Lost" had a great impact on me when I first saw it in 1989. Beautifully & painfully put together in so many ways. The film film had a short commercial re-release earlier this year and at long last will be released on DVD.

----

Barbara Kopple's "Harlan County" & "American Dream." I had the great pleasure of having a short film I made screen with her "American Dream" right after she won the Oscar at the SF Film Festival....

-----

Joe Berlinger & Bruce Sinofsky's "Brother's Keeper." A film so great, Spalding Gray narrated the trailer for it...

-----

Marcel Ophüls' "Hotel Terminus." One of the most amazing films I have ever seen. I was fortunate to meet him at Sundance in '91.

----

ITVS produced 1992 "For Better or For Worse." Really sweet film.

----

I also love "Hoop Dreams," "Sherman's March," "Tongues Untied," "Paris is Burning," "The Panama Decption," the "Up" Series...

I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch....
