Re: What Documentaries Influenced You Most and Why?

[Tim Wilson] "My current fave is Errol Morris' Ocscar-winning Fog of War: 100 minutes of Robert McNamara looking straight into the camera, and telling his stories with crystal clarity. Remarkable on a whole lot of levels, not least of which is that it's the first time I've seen somebody talk to the camera like this. Instead of watching a conversation with some unseen SOMEBODY, never looking the subject in the eyes...well, watch it and you'll see what I mean."

Errol Morris is one of the best of all times, no doubt. I also particularly like Fog of War. I hope I live long enough to see the day when Errol Morris interviews Donald Rumsfeld and that he too does a complete 180 like McNamara and shows evidence of some humanity.
