I'm trying to drag myself out of a mental quagmire at the moment and I need to feel inspired.
What is the best 'out there' documentary you've seen? Things pertaining to consciousness, psychology, drugs and drug culture, exploration, human acheivement, physics, spirituality etc.
My preference is for documentaries that don't pussyfoot around the more technical side of things too.
Ahhh unemployment.

Baraka and Samsara are two documentaries with a specific style. There is no narrator in them, just video. Watching both of them left me with a lot to think about.

Erasing hate
There are maaaany awesome docs about prison. One is called The Farm: Angola, USA i think. I cant name them all, just watch some prison docs
There is a good one about drugs too, i thibk its called American Drug War or something.
Nature documentaries are good too. Pick your favorite, plant, animal or ecosystem on this planet and prepare to be amazed.
Documentaries about prehistory like walking with: dinosours, cavemen, monsters, ect. Are awesome.
Earthlings is good but its disturbing.
All of the cocaine cowboys docs are cool.

If you haven't done it yet, the Cosmos series is definitely one to trip your face off to and ponder the universe.

Yeah I'll have to put that on the trip to do list.
Back when 3D TVs were new, and I had just got one with 3D capability, I bought the IMAX Hubble 3D blu-ray. Watched that tripping super hard.
The 3D-ness of it all was almost too overwhelming.
