Can anyone add to my list of quirky subculture documentaries?
|

I'd prefer good ones, but I'm also generally interested in finding other documentaries about small communities of people that engage in really unusual hobbies or sports.
So far, I have:
Word Wars
Murderball
King of Kong, The
Cinemania
I'll also allow semi-fictionalized accounts, like
Searching for Bobby Fischer.

I have not seen Okie Noodling, but the other above documentaries mentioned above were very good.
I also recommend The Devil and Daniel Johnston, Darwin's Nightmare, and Horns and Halos.

You've got to see Trekkies, which is one of the funniest documentaries I've ever seen. Gates of Heaven is another good one, about pet cemeteries, and after you watch that, I highly suggest seeing the short documentary film, WERNER HERZOG EATS HIS SHOE, which is about the gestation of that film.

Thanks for the great suggestions! Spellbound is an excellent fit, as I suspect will be the others that I have heard of: Trekkies and Hands on a Hard Body (the latter of which has been on my wishlist for ages). I will have to check out the others. I note that Okie Noodling now has a sequel, Okie Noodling II. One more possible candidate is Werner Herzog's Encounters at the End of the World about life in Antarctica.
