Adam:

Ever consider running some other lost classics of non-fiction?

You might take a peek at a couple films by the late John Marshall --
from his Pittsburgh series. My favorites would be "Three Domestics"
and "Vagrant Woman" -- and if available in the original form,
"Pumpkin" (not the version with academic discussion added). You
could always show it with an episode of "COPS." ;-)

John Marshall shot "Titicut Follies" but is best known as an
ethnographic filmmaker (his Kalahari films are well known). The
Pittsburgh films, from 1969 - 71, are quite amazing.

Of course, William Klein's ALI film (the B&W part) is amazing, too,
but it's out on DVD now.
