Michael Moore Documentaries Quotations

I've been encouraging documentary filmmakers to use more and more humor, and they're loath to do that because they think if it's a documentary it has to be deadly serious - it has to be like medicine that you're supposed to take. And I think it's what keeps the mass audience from going to documentaries.

We all need to be huge supporters of the theatrical documentary.

For a documentary filmmaker, I do very well.

Three of the top six documentaries of all time, grossing, are made by me.

Post-war filmmakers gave us the documentary, Rob Reiner gave us the mockumentary and Moore initiated a third genre, the crockumentary.

Documentaries are a form of journalism.
