I took a course in the history of film and fell in love with documentaries, in particular 'Hearts and Minds'. Do these count as obscure (?), 'cuz I got a couple: 'Capturing the Friedmans', and 'Roger & Me' (although Michael Moore gets on my nerves, this movie hit close to home, both literally and figuratively).
I also like war movies like 'Apocalypse Now' and 'Full Metal Jacket'...and they might be considered obscure...
Hell, I'm lying. I like all movies since I don't have cable/local television and rely on the local library as my sole source of entertainment.

I can't get enough of
Sideways either! It was one of my top 3 favs of 2004. Can't wait to go see "wine country" for myself one of these days!
I'll have to check out
Hearts and Minds. I saw the other docs you mentioned, and I agree about Michael Moore (I agree with his politics for the most part, but he can be heavy-handed and over-the-top at times; I think he'd be taken more seriously if he'd just stop beating a dead horse. We get it, Mikey, *GOSH* {hijack from
ND}!
)
Oddly enough, I enjoy war flicks as well.
Black Hawk Down and
Tears of the Sun struck a chord in me.
