I think sdedalus and I are the only people who love My Winnipeg.
Slow down there, buster. I have it number 2 of 1998, and number 90 all-time. And it has other fans too, jbizz, ses, FroHam, and edgar, I think.

It's true, I like My Winnipeg quite a bit. It would certainly make my doc list.

Same here.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

Waltz with Bashir is about real people and real events. The animated format is used communicate the experiences as the people remember them, not as they necessarily were. It's what makes it so awesome. Using a limited definition of "truth" and "reality" that excludes this kind of exploration is silly.

-What is a documentary? The line between what is and isn't a documentary is too fuzzy to be used as a blanket rule, so instead it's up to you to decide what qualifies. If you feel My Winnipeg is a doc, go ahead and vote for it. If you feel it isn't a doc, but still love it... well, it's up to you what you do. There's always the Best Film category. But anyways, we're not going to tell you who you can and can't vote for in this category. Unless, of course, you're just being silly.

That's probably the best solution. Thanks, guys.

I'm voting Inglourious Basterd as a documentary

Only within the confines of this sub-forum (which will be deleted after this event wraps up). But yeah, we're mods for now ;)

It feels like a moment to break out a West Wing quote.
