Re: The fifth spot nomination

Choosing the five best films is an impossible task... your original post proves this. But your challenge of leaving five great films in a time capsule is a simply wonderful idea, one I've never heard of before.

In the interest of journalistic correctness I would have to leave five documentries:

1. Shoah (interviews with holocaust victims)
2. Through the Wire (story of US govt's inhumane treatment of female political prisoners - yes, we have some)
3. Olympia - The Olympic Games of Berlin 1936 (by Leni Riefenstahl)
4. The Wonderful, horrible life of Leni Riefenstahl (just to balance the above)
5. Hoop Dreams (story of two basketball hopefuls)

Bonus nominees: Microcosmos (the real "bugs life"), Theremin (the weird get weirder), Crumb (and even weirder again).
