Entry 16 - The Big Documentary List

Okay, we admit it. This is a double post. You'll find this fabulous updated list of documentaries on Lisa's Blog AND here. Okay again. We've been gone. Again. Me? I went to Milwaukee. Rufus Wainright calls it "The Paris of the Midwest". Matt took the family and HIT THE ROAD. To celebrate our return to Blogging, and your long and enduring patience with us, we decided to give you our original Documentary List with additions from readers and a bunch that Lisa has seen in the last few months. Print this out and enjoy. Pull up your Netflix queue, run to your local dvd place or slip the list into an envelope as a gift (yes, I KNOW that I said the same thing over at lisahoffman.typepad.com). Just DO it. And thanks again for remaining our faithful readers. We love you.
