Frontline: Putin's Way (2015)
Excellent documentary
Ignore the negative reviews from the Russian bots. This is a fine investigative documentary and shows the world just how much they have underestimated Putin and how Russia is run like a mafia state.
It is must see for anyone trying to understand Putin's rise to power and the extremes he will go to to achieve his aims.
Bushi no ichibun (2006)
A period classic
This is a really good film. Slow paced, just like real life in the Edo jidai. A good story, excellent acting and it gives good insight to the daily life of a low level samurai. There's a great atmosphere with not flashy but realistic scenery.
If you are looking for lots of action and swordplay, this isn't for you. But I found this film strangely moving and quite beautifully arranged.
Well worth seeing.
You've Been Trumped (2011)
A good documentary
A story of how money, power and greed destroyed a unique natural environment, and severely damaged the lives of local people in the area. The Scottish government under Salmon behaved disgracefully. Offers a preview of a pre-presidential Trump and the methods he and his underlings used to get their way. later, the promised local jobs and revenue for Scotland failed to materialize of-course. It should have served as a warning.
Totally Under Control (2020)
Analysis of a disaster
This is an excellent documentary of how a disaster was made far, far worse by an inept and incompetent Trump administration.
