Doc A "Day" Mega Catch Up Short Form Run Down (8,9,10,11,12)
#8 : Finding Shawn : a filmmaker goes back to San Francisco to find a child of hippies all grown up....into a totally normal, regular guy.....interesting , but not enough for repeat viewings.
#9 : Shut Up Little Man : Two friends secretly audio record their neighbors fighting, underground tape trading fuels some fame. Amazingly, at one point there were three movies being developed. You will feel terrible when they locate one of the living neighbors years later. Offering them a hundred bucks, while one of the guys who made the recordings still sells merch....he should feel terrible too...
#10: Hoop Dreams : Yes its "THE" Doc, but still. No matter how many times I watch it, I have to watch till the end, as if I don't know how its going to all wind up. More compelling than most fiction films. Just watch it....
#11 : Don't Divorce Me! : short doc from HBO where kids talk about divorce. Yep, there's a "luncheon" group of three kids who get together weekly to discuss divorce....
#12 : Americans In Bed : also from HBO Docs. It is it what it says. You will be annoyed by some, borded by one or two. But you will fall in love with the couple married for 71 years. Their life story should be a movie.
