Ironically both are doing pretty well in life .. “Bogey Man” the doc on Lee Atwater was really really interesting.. Ed Rollins as usual was candid as hell.. Mary Matalin not so much..
The part with Dukakis and Kitty.. was really good.. Kitty tells Mike.. “We answer charges now.. don’t we!!”..

I really enjoyed “Paper Clips” about a southern rural school that had a creative way to learn (and teach the town) about what was endured during the Holocaust.
It was very touching, especially considering the prejudgments many make about people who live in the rural south.
Netflix synopsis:
“Whitwell Middle School in Tennessee is the setting for this documentary about an extraordinary experiment in Holocaust education. Struggling to grasp the concept of 6 million Holocaust victims, the students decide to collect 6 million paper clips.”
I highly recommend Exit through the Gift Shop, particularly if you haven’t read anything about the surrounding controversy.
Several others I’d recommend have already been mentioned. Most recently, I tried to watch The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia but gave up about 20 minutes in. I found the family simply repulsive, rather than the antiheroes the filmmakers appeared to want to portray them as.
Helvetica, the most interesting movie about a font ever made.
Confessions of a Superhero, about superhero look-a-likes scratching out a living on tourist tips in Hollywood. If The Incredible Hulk’s story doesn’t touch you, you are made of stone.
Thank you for recommending this one. I really like documentaries about odd folks. Ones I’ve enjoyed are:
Confessions of a Superhero(obviously)
Word Wars
League of Ordinary Gentlemen - bowling documentary. Great, but no longer streams.
Any others I should look for, streaming or not?
I just watched this. It was excellent. I only had a vague notion of what was going on before watching it. I highly recommend it.
Totally forgot about this one, but yes, definitely second the recommendation.
The above-mentioned Vernon, Florida from Errol Morris is definitely about odd folks. Gates of Heaven (not available to stream on Netflix) to a somewhat lesser degree (there are definitely odd folks, but there’s also death and bereavement).
Oh, look - Harlan Ellison: Dreams with Sharp Teeth is available. That’s a pretty good documentary about a particularly odd folk. 
They Came To Play is a decent documentary that is currently streaming.
It’s about amateur piano players who enter a major amateur piano competition. Kind of neat, nothing super amazing.
I put it on while I worked and enjoyed it. Amazingly talented folks that hold down regular jobs while being excellent pianists.
Riding Giants is fantastic even, or especially, if you have no interest in big wave surfing. The visuals and personalities of these old bastards from back in the 50s are incredible.
Which is the follow up to Who Killed the Electric Car.
Very interesting movie.
I watched Talhotblond on the recommendation of someone here on the Dope, and I thought it was a really interesting cautionary tale. It’s another doc that’s best not to know too much about before you watch it. (it’s not streaming, DVD only right now)
