* 1 Fahrenheit 9/11

Michael Moore, 2004, £8.80: It may not have been the best film of the decade. It may not have been the best film Moore has made (that honour still belongs to 1989’s Roger and Me). Nevertheless, it’s hard to overstate the importance of this film, a modestly funded political documentary that was shunned by its Disney backers but went on to win the Palme d’Or at Cannes, coin more than $220 million around the world, and boost the emergence of politically liberal, agenda-driven multiplex fare such as Supersize Me and An Inconvenient Truth.

A speculation: might the accessible and populist fashion in which it marshalled its denunciation of George Bush’s 2000 “electoral theft”, to say nothing of the scorn it poured on American neo-conservative support for the “War on Terror”, have helped create or at least re-identify a large chunk of the non-traditional constituencies who were later tapped successfully by the Obama campaign team?

Criticism that Moore played fast and loose with his facts misses the point. He’s an old-fashioned circus barker. He trades in passion not science. But these days, when Tony Blair gets dubbed a “war criminal” and when the US economy is still ailing after the trillions squandered in the Middle East, the questions he asks look like patriotism rather than treachery.

eh, I like him...and all he's done. I haven't seen the newest one yet..
I will. People hate him...at least he gets us thinking. Instead of stupid a$$ end of the world movies..

The best thing Michael Moore has done so far was the fating contest with Peter Griffin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APs9ApvpICw

The next best thing he can do is fade away!

then the non thinkers can keep not thinking, keep hating and live in fear..and spread their hating fearmonger non thoughts.

The main problem with Moore is this.

He may be trying to " inform " people, but doing so by taking artistic license with the facts isn't really informing people.

then the non thinkers can keep not thinking, keep hating and live in fear..and spread their hating fearmonger non thoughts.

He gets a lot of attention..good and bad, someone is paying attention to him to stir up so much controversy...and if it gets us thinking then possibly they can be a positive out come.
All we can do individually is take it in, research, and decide for ourselves. Better to get us thinking than watching doomsday movies..where is the thinking in that...why care about anything if the world is ending.

No No if Mike Moore disappeared then his hate mongerin fear slingin followers wouldn't have a preacher to follow and would shut up!

You think he is a hate monger? So many out there that teach hate, like the baptist minister...I would call that preaching hate.
I watch Moore's films and I don't live in fear, I don't hate. I have been called pathetic and useless for being a pacifist..on this site. Sharing informtion and teaching hate are two different things...

He's a bozo and not sharing anything, just some jack butt with a camera crew and an agenda that's all.

Yes, he's out there with most of his BS.
Telling half-truths by either side is not helpful.
Moore needs to put the truth out not half-baked facts.
