I'll second Cocaine Cowboys, which is Superb.

Excellent sound track, incredible editing and gallons of claret.

Check it.

Does anyone know a good site to search for and download documentaries (for free and if possible a sight I don't have to register with)? I am interested in finding both short and medium length documentaries for in class use.

www.thepiratebay.com

More documentaries than you could watch in a lifetime, but you will have to install a bittorrent client. It is generally pretty easy to setup, and I think there are instructions on that page.

Our School

You can grab it off Asiandvdclub.org - its a bittorrent tracker for Asian flicks.

Yup, that is key for torrents.

I always try to have a 1:2 ratio

Unsurprisingly, nobody mentioned "Hoop Dreams". An early 90s look at two inner-city kids trying to make it to the NBA. Phenomenal film.

Also, "Scared Straight", and "Hearts Of Darkness".

I just hate registering for those websites. I guess I will have to register with one of them by the looks of it.
