Yeah it's a terrific movie. Pulls no punches in the initial massacre scenes. Spielberg isn't so showy and focuses on the human moral dilemma that the Mossad "vengance" missions entailed. It's a fascinating story with some great performances. Bana in particular.

Twelve hours with the president on 9/11 as it changed him, America and the world.www.bbc.co.uk
The best of the 9/11 documentaries IMO is 102 Minutes That Changed America. No interviews, no narration, just amateur video shot on the streets that day, and plays in real time from just after the first plane hit to just after the second collapse. Crazy to think about how the event that has basically shaped the world for my entire adult life only actually played out in the runtime of a feature film.

Yeh that's the best one ive seen. The new documentary on ITV takes a similar approach
9-11: Life Under Attack - 9-11: Life Under Attack
A unique and compelling account of the day that changed the modern world.

Incredible series. I don’t know the formal titles but the Greg LaMond one, the Jimmy Connors one, the Fab Five, the Two Escobars and most others (Miami U, Youngstown etc) are great. But the Duke Lacrosse team docu was absolutely mesmerizing for a commentary on justice and prejudice. I try to catch every episode.

The Men Who Killed Kennedy
A huge deal at the time it first aired in the late 80's, I was a kid when it was first shown on British TV - on ITV I think - I've since rediscovered it via Youtube. The whole series has been uploaded on the link below.
It's chock full of original footage from the assassination, including the first time I'd ever seen the pivotal Zapruder film. Loads of interviews with witnesses and key personnel, including the medical staff who tended to Kennedy as he lay dying.
It throws up a series of interesting questions - many of them seemingly still unanswered - and it provides a valuable time capsule of a "Where were you" moment in history. The programme actually names whom it believes were the REAL assassins... whether it was who they claim it was is open to conjecture, and now sadly, almost 60 years on is lost to time
I just can't get my head round Jack Ruby - surely he knew more than he let on - and he died in prison, never spilling the beans about the real reason he capped Oswald. Surely the feds would have grilled him for days on end...

The Atomic Cafe (1982)
A compilation of US nuclear weapon test films that features some of the public defense films and propaganda of the cold war era that advised the US public how to "Survive" an atomic attack by those dirty commies.
Sometimes darkly humorous, always unsettling and a revealing glimpse into the power and horror of nuclear weapons.
It's shocking how clueless people were (from the top down) when it came to the effects of these weapons and the deadly legacy they left behind. That underwater test at the 16 minute mark that throws huge battleships up in the air like toys though.... Jesus they just didn't realise what they were dealing with back then

Incredible story, literally stole a living as a footballer.

Hells Angels Forever (1983)
A vintage look inside the notorious biker club that has a series of interviews with biker members, their stoned broads, police officials and curious onlookers. Loads of boss footage of old early '80's grimy NYC and some priceless interviews with psychos like "Big Vinny" of the NYC chapter. Big Vinny would be long dead by the time this documentary was released - he was battered at the hands of another Hells Angel and died later of internal injuries. The reason for such savagery? He had apparently lashed his pregnant bird off a high building, instantly killing her.
So although this documentary seems relatively tame in it's portrayal of the notorious HA (it was in fact commissioned by the club a a promotional piece) , it does feature some absolute headcases.
Hardly cuddly fellows then but fascinating to see how feared they were back then. A lot of them were Vietnam Veterans, many were of extreme right-wing political leanings. It's said that if you wanted to hold a large rock concert in the US in the last 60's and early 70's, you needed the blessing and involvement of Sonny Barger, head of the HAMC. Otherwise the band would get terrored, the gear and amps would get smashed up and the fans attending the gig would get a good hiding.
A great bunch of lads!!!

Big Vinny look like he'd have your back in a rumble, but if you invited him over to your house he'd break all your stuff
My favourite sports doc ever, must have watched this 30 times now.
