I've recently started watching Morgan Spurlock's "30 Days" documentary series, and found it relatively intriguing. It's a timely coincidence, though, that my Netflix DVD is Super Size Me, his documentary that launched his career, a film that I missed on its initial release.
Morgan's matter-of-fact reporting style is rather nice. Plus he knows how to mix in the right amount of back research along with his story arc.
Given the changes McDonald's "coincidentally" made after this premiered (elimination of Supersizes, flexibility in sides), this has to be one of the most influential documentaries of the decade. It's worth a viewing.
Super Size Me
2004, 100 minutes, directed by Morgan Spurlock
