    "A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash" I watched it this past weekend. It's great, I highly recommend it. We have some major challenges facing us in the next 50 years or less.

    I have my TV hooked up to my computer. So I was able to watch it via netflix's "play instant" feature. You can also have it delivered via the mail I suppose.

    It's available on Bittorrent, if your into that sort of "illegal downloading".

    Wife and I watched it this past weekend. I enjoyed it.

    Here is the IMDB page: A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash (2006)

    It was IMDB rated 8.2 which is about as good as any movie or documentary gets.

    In my opinion it was fair and balanced. Basic thesis is that world economy depends on cheap oil, and virtually all of the cheap oil is gone, therefore the world economy is in a "world of trouble". That's my take anyway.

    I'd like to think we are headed more for the "good old days" (which were never really that great anyway, but regardless...), than a "Mad Max" world.
