Pulp Fiction

With documentaries like Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11, Super Size Me making waves, I am wondering if there are more going around.

I have seen The Last Days, Columbine, The Living Sea and Winged Migration in the cinemas and I am very fascinated. They really change my perspective on documentaries.

But these kind of documentary films are very very hard to find in Singapore, even at major stores.

So, I check for more such award-winning documentary films at amazon.com and I was stuck surfing for more than two hours. In the end, my cart is so full that I practically had to shut down the computer to get over the impulse from clicking the 'Confirm Order' button.

Here are the documentary films in my cart... (see 3rd comment)

You are certainly not alone but if you read their accolades and reviews, you will be intrigued too. Uncle Ebert gave four stars to most of them!
