i just ordered JFK , the movie by oliver stone, and while i browsed through amazon i ran into a few other titles, but they're documentaries as opposed to an actual movie.

anyways, have any of you seen the following jfk documentaries

The Secret KGB JFK Assassination Files
THE JFK-CASE FOR CONSPIRACY
JFK-ASSASSINATION FILES

i'm a big fan when it comes to conspiracy (theories), it's interesting, as long as they haven't been blown out of proportion or overely stretched.

so have anybody seen those doc. and if so, are they any good? i might order all three if the feedback on em are good.

thanks.

Interesting theories BUT, I saw a documentary showing that the 'magic bullet' as hown in JFK is all wrong.
The guy sitting in front of JFK sat 6" closer to the center of the car than JFK so the bullet went straight through and not as shown in the movie.

I have no feedback for the above titles, but Frontline's website has a fantastic documentary on Lee Harvey Oswald that you mind find interesting...

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/oswald/view/

It doesn't exactly deal with conspiracies, but it does go indepth about his upbringing, his travels, his ties to the KGB, the assassination and the aftermath.

Best of all, it's free! :D

I think I saw the same one, I saw it on the History Channel, it has Peter Jennings narrating. I got sucked into that one even though the idea of yet another JFK documentary (and a 2 hr one at that) in theory should have been enough to make me naseous. I started watching and just couldn't stop.

It also addresses the utter fairy tale that the Oliver Stone movie is, and how many idiots believe it as fact.

Yup, that's the one.
I still like the movie even if it is flawed.
