all this mayhem
Stop at Nothing: The Lance Armstrong Story
Beware of Mr. Baker - Fantastic music doc. Ginger Baker is just a horrible nasty asshole of a man, a wretched father, and an amazing drummer. A good look into the life of a formerly celebrated and thoroughly interesting and complex person.
Fantasia 2000 - Very meh. It's not as captivating as the original Fantasia. Even some of the introductions were bad. I cringed at hearing Bette Midler describe Salvador Dali as "that melted watch guy".
To be Takei - A very feel good documentary and covers all the major events of Takei's life. But it just kinda feels glossy. There's no real grit to it.
The Hustler - Oh man, Paul Newman being awesome. George C. Scott being awesome. Jackie fucking Gleason would have stolen the show in any other movie if not for Scott & Newman. Piper Laurie was probably miscast as she just isn't on the same level and ends up being fairly forgettable. This influenced a lot of subsequent movies.
