Classic documentaries

probably going to get the curtis stuff too as i did enjoy what i saw when i caught it on tv

There's an old copy of Curtis' first doc knocking around on usenet: "Inquiry: The Great British Housing Disaster" - all about the rush to build council tower blocks and the resultant dismal build quality.

Much more of a conventional doc than his later stuff - not too much obscure archive footage, but you can definitely see the Curtis style in its genesis. Worth a watch.
 
Grass: a nation's battle for life 1925. Is poetic, follows Bahtirari tribe I watched on youtube.
Three songs about Lenin. film-maker Dziga Vertov
And of course "Man with movie camera" give high score.
