One of the finest films I've ever seen

Dark Days was incredible. Period.

The mood, the atmosphere, the stories, the people, the cinematography, the MUSIC! This film just moves you so much - you really get to know these homeless people and feel their pain, happiness, and exhaustion along with them. Considering Marc Singer had never even seen a professional video camera before this, he did an incredible job. Hell, even if he was an avid filmmaker this would still be an incredible job!

If you have not seen this documentary, see it now.

FYI, a few of my favorite movies are (in no particular order and excluding Dark Days):
1. Lost in Translation
2. 25th Hour
3. Rushmore
4. Rear Window
5. Before Sunrise
6. Sideways
7. 8 1/2
8. Ghost World
9. Pulp Fiction
10. About Schmidt
11. Citizen Kane
12. Adaptation
13. Royal Tenenbaums
14. The Life Aquatic
15. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
16. Million Dollar Baby
17. The Aviator
18. Kill Bill volume 2

Blatently the best documentary ever made.
Michael Moore, learn your role.
Sick, sick soundtrack as well.

Definitely!

As for Michael Moore: You're a novice compared to Singer - and you've been in the business for how long?

You must have read my mind, thetwilitekid. I saw the movie last night, but today I was thinking about how tightly the movie, music, artwork and lettering were woven together. The whole package contributes to a sublime experience.

Well done, folks who worked on everything.

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.

Greatest documentary - mostly emotion.. Their story.
