Im facinated by the whole dot com era, anyone know of any other fly on the wall type documentaries about it?
shareDon't know of any other fly-on-the-wall style documentaries about the dot com bust, but check out What Happened? if you can find it.
shareThere is a german film, quite the same way called "Weltmarktführer" (without german umlauts: weltmarktfuehrer) about Biodata AG. More information (in german): http://www.weltmarktfuehrer-derfilm.de don´t now if there is / will be a subtitled version, just contact Klaus Stern (regie) (see impressum). The film won the german grimme price.

Yes John, there is another I saw but I can't remember the name. It was about a bicycle delivery service, and it was good like this one. I will find out and message you later.
Also, have you seen American Movie and American Job?
yeah, that's it. E DREAMS. about the bicycle delivery folks. thanks fletch
shareCheck out "e-dreams" and "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room".
If you are up for a good read I highly recommend "The Origins of the Crash" by Roger Lowenstein too.
I loved this movie!!!!
FREE CONRAD BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room" was EXCELLENT and very similar about the downfall of a company. great high quality production.
anyway speaking of dcoumentaries.... 'Touching the Void', turn on subtitles as some euro accents on it. But i think the most moving documentary i've seen between two friends.
I liked The Kid Stays in the Picture. It's also about a businessman trying to rivive a struggling company. It's more about Robert Evans himself than it is about Paramount. I still liked the business aspect of the film though.
There's a movie called "Dot" that came out a few years ago. It's a mockumentary/comedy rather than a documentary, but it has the same look to it.
It was probably even made as a spoof of Startup.com.
