I think I've seen every doc out there. From John Pilger to Michael Moore to everyone with Noam Chomsky.

Any real deal socialist ones though?

Has Monthly Review ever put out a doc?

You should watch the Warren Beatty flick "Reds," too, if you haven't already.

^This one.

Also, there's The Wobblies (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-582501436157763581#) (Bird and Shaffer, 1979), Weather Underground (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6078589535743610981#) (Green and Siegel, 2002), and The Murder of Fred Hampton (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6418849978684923626#) (Alk, 1971) [those are all links to online viewing, btw]. There are also Sir! No Sir! (Zeiger, 2005) and A Grin Without a Cat (Marker, 1977), which I couldn't find links for but I'm sure could be had through torrent download.

That last one, in my opinion, is probably the best of all of them, though. It takes a look at the various 1960s rebellions on a global scale, rather than the America centric docs that keep getting cranked out about the era. That last one may be a bit tricky for you to find, so if you're having trouble getting hold of it, PM me and we'll set up an FTP session or something. I stumbled across it in a local indie video store and ripped it, lulz.
