I put asterisks next to the one's I've seen...what can I say, I love lists. Documentaries I'd add to the list: Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills, Slasher, Country Boys, Reefer Madness (just kidding), and a bunch more that were in my head a second ago and have now floated away into the abyss. Looks like I'll have to make another blog entry down the road.
