What political documentaries should I put on my Netflix list?
I have 'The Corporation', 'Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price', and a Noam Chomsky one on there so far.

:D

2. "The Fog of War"
Particularly relevant right now. A must see film.

3. Right now, I have
"The Hunting of the President" and "WMD: Weapons of Mass Deception."

In the past, I've gotten:

"Bush's Brain"

"Uncovered: The War on Iraq"

"Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election"

"Unconstitutional: The War on Our Civil Liberties"

"The Fog of War"

"Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism"

4. I don't know if it's available on DVD yet, but when it is
I think "Why We Fight" is a must see.

5. Not a documentary, but if you haven't seen "Matewan," you probably should
Not a laugh a minute, exactly, but a good one. Chris Cooper in John Sayles' take on early attempts to unionize the WV coal mines.
