	6:27pm Jeff F.F.R.: Summer of Soul and Wattstax were my favorite music documentaries. They were so beautiful and optimistic. Sly & the Family Stone's performance in Summer of Soul made that film 1000% worthwhile.

	6:32pm Tom from Stirling: Jim should pick ten of these best of docs. Then we vote on them during the marathon. Winner revealed on the last day of the marathon.
	6:32pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Sean T-Rex @6:30 Summer Of Soul is about a Harlem music festival. It is a fantastic doc that came out a few years back.

	6:33pm pollypinocle: Stax: Soulsville USA
	6:34pm Tom from Stirling: Actually the best documentary is "Man on Wire" about that French guy who high-wired between the World Trade Center towers. It was like an action movie.

	6:38pm Pablexa™: No Spoilers, but has anyone ever seen "They Shoot Movies, Don't They? ...the Making of 'Mirage'"? - After watching that one, I went straight to the Googz
	6:38pm inky bob: ↳ Tom from Stirling @6:34 masterpiece : )
	6:39pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Sean T-Rex @6:35 Beatles '64 was pretty good. Last summer I saw the Paul MacCartney photography show in Bklyn of his personal photos from the US tour in 1964. So both together were great.
	6:39pm Jeff F.F.R.: ↳ hifivicky @6:35 Screw the haters, as I dug the digital restoration of the original footage. I'll always tie "Two of Us" with that film.

	6:41pm SteveJ: ↳ SteveJ @6:36 should have put "that event" in quotes
	👍 6:41pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ pollypinocle @6:40 OH HELL YEA!!! I loved that one! That should get a shout out since it was a Jersey place
	6:41pm Bklyn_Dutch: Radio Unnameable was pretty cool, Jim
	6:42pm erik: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @6:29 yes, yes it does.
	6:42pm Tom from Stirling: Sara Fishko. Steve Post. Perfect together. When WNYC was good.
	6:43pm pollypinocle: The Howlin' Wolf Story
	👍 6:43pm Folsom: Another good jazz doc is I Called Him Morgan
	6:43pm N'Lo: Great piece on Charlotte Zwerin in the New Yorker a week or so ago.

	6:48pm SteveJ: "The Seed of the Sacred Fig" which is almost a documentary
	6:48pm Jim the Poet: ↳ SteveJ @6:48 This is great
	👍 6:48pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Tom from Stirling @6:46 Yea, I'm not a Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me fan. lol But RadioLab can be solid
	6:49pm Danne D: the ultra rare all killer no filler call from yours truly
	6:49pm Msmelissa: Loved Seed of the sacred Fig! I hope that it wins an Oscar. But it's absolutely not a doc.
	6:50pm Scarlett: So in love with Partly Fiction about Harry Dean Stanton
	6:51pm Bklyn_Dutch: Hearts Of Darkness
	6:51pm DjLorraine: Crypt Camp! Woot!!

	6:55pm Jeff F.F.R.: If you dug "Free Solo" you'd love 2017's "The Dawn Wall" about two guys climbing El Capitan. Even the story of the climbers before their climb even started was insane.
	6:55pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ goes211 @6:52 The best. Let's vote on it!
	6:55pm goes211: I bet Micah really knows how to party.
	👍 6:56pm Sean T-Rex: I shocked no one mentioned 'Super Size Me' yet too
