SiCKO
The words "health care" and "comedy" aren't usually found in the same
sentence, but in Academy Award winning filmmaker Michael Moore's new movie
'SiCKO,' they go together hand in (rubber) glove.
While Moore's 'SiCKO' follows the trailblazing path of previous hit films,
the Oscar-winning BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE and all-time box-office documentary
champ FAHRENHEIT 9/11, it is also something very different for Michael
Moore. 'SiCKO' is a straight-from-the-heart portrait of the crazy and
sometimes cruel U.S. health care system, told from the vantage of everyday
people faced with extraordinary and bizarre challenges in their quest for
basic health coverage.
In the tradition of Mark Twain or Will Rogers, 'SiCKO' uses humor to tell
these compelling stories, leading the audience to conclude that an alternative
system is the only possible answer.

Fahrenheit 9/11
One of the most controversial and provocative films of the year, Fahrenheit
9/11 is Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore's searing examination
of the Bush administration's actions in the wake of the tragic events of
9/11.
With his characteristic humor and dogged commitment to uncovering the facts,
Moore considers the presidency of George W. Bush and where it has led us. He
looks at how - and why - Bush and his inner circle avoided pursuing the
Saudi connection to 9/11, despite the fact that 15 of the 19 hijackers were
Saudis and Saudi money had funded Al Qaeda. Fahrenheit 9/11 shows us a
nation kept in constant fear by FBI alerts and lulled into accepting a piece
of legislation, the USA Patriot Act, that infringes on basic civil rights.
It is in this atmosphere of confusion, suspicion and dread that the Bush
Administration makes its headlong rush towards war in Iraq and Fahrenheit
9/11 takes us inside that war to tell the stories we haven't heard,
illustrating the awful human cost to U.S. soldiers and their families.

Bowling For Columbine
"Bowling for Columbine" is an alternately humourous and horrifying film about the United States.
It is a film about the state of the Union, about the violent soul of America. Why do 11,000 people die in America each year
at the hands of gun violence? The talking heads yelling from every TV camera blame everything from Satan to video games.
But are we that much different from many other countries? What sets us apart? How have we become both the master and
victim of such enormous amounts of violence? This is not a film about gun control. It is a film about the fearful heart and
soul of the United States, and the 280 million Americans lucky enough to have the right to a constitutionally protected Uzi.

Roger & Me
In 1989, Michael Moore burst onto the American moviemaking scene with Roger & Me. The groundbreaking documentary chronicled the efforts of the world's largest corporation, General Motors, as it turns its hometown of Flint, Michigan, into a ghost town. In his quest to discover why GM would want to do such a thing, Michael Moore - a Flint native - attempts to meet the chairman, Roger Smith, and persuade him to come and visit Flint to see the destruction first-hand.

Canadian Bacon
America has been invading Canada culturally almost since its last military incursion in 1812. Now Moore has imagined a president (Alan Alda) who talks tough about those mean guys up north so he can jack up his numbers in the polls and get America's weapons factories humming again. The trouble is, a lawman from Niagara Falls, N.Y., the late John Candy, takes the talks seriously and precipitates an international incident.

The Big One
Winner Best Documentary, Aspen Film Festival, Best Documentary, Denver Film Festival
Michael Moore might have thought he'd have a problem doing a follow-up to "Roger & Me," his muckraking documentary that took General Motors CEO Roger Smith to task for closing a Buick plant and throwing thousands out of work. Since that soul-satisfying film in 1988, Moore has taken on a certain measure of celebrity and even solvency. But then along came downsizing in the '90s. As corporations discovered they could increase profits by firing American workers who made them rich and farming out jobs to lower-priced workers in other countries, Moore's new documentary, "The Big One," became inevitable.

Dude Where's My Country?
The shocking, rollicking, administration-ending new book By the year's #1 selling author Michael Moore
When the powers-that-be succeeded in ignoring-and then silencing-the nation's widespread dissent over war, one man stood on an Oscar stage and, in front of a billion people, outed the commander in chief for his fictitious presidency and his fictitious war. Now, just a few months later, those words have remarkably become the accepted truth of the land.

Adventures in a TV Nation
Adventures in a TV Nation is the tale of how a group of people went after corporate crooks with a seven-foot crime-fighting chicken, hired a former KGB agent to make sure Nixon was really dead, and got the warring factions in Bosnia to put down their guns, slice up a pizza, and sing the Barney song to each other. And it all ended up on primetime television, on networks owned by General Electric (NBC) and Rupert Murdoch (FOX). The show was called TV Nation, and these are its stories, a sort of consumer's guide to raising hell and having fun while doing it.
