For those who have seen both, which is the better documentary?

And don't go voting and then post "I never saw x, but y had to be better." If you haven't seen one, of course you'll like the other one better.

1. Both were very good...

but F911 was more important for everyone to see...not that it did us any good :-(

5. But that's part of the issue-- SSM DID do some good

In the end, Moore just made a lot of us angrier. SSM got McDonalds to change it's marketing practices. Not knocking Moore in any way, his film was brilliant, but in the end, I wonder if it was maybe too cutesy, or too emotional, rather than as solidly objective as SSM. maybe, maybe not.

2. Fahrenheit 9/11

Fahrenheit 9/11 hands down...no offense to Super Size me or the others, but Michael did a good job.

3. SuperSizeMe was good, informative...

...but really didn't connect with me personally because I haven't "used" American-style junk food/shit for over a decade.

F.9.11's subject matter, on the other hand, DOES affect me, and I'm not even American.

However, I like how the success of SuperSizeMe helped popularize the documentary form; it's needed now more than ever, regardless of subject.

4. 9/11 was better

super-size me was OK, but not very "smart" and pointless. They both suggest that we should stop our "bad habits"(eating to much fast food, voting for bu*h, and so on). I guess what I am trying to say is that 9/11 made you think about a lot of things, and super-size made you think "well I knew that".

6. Apples and oranges

One's an overview of a corrupt administration. The other is one man's story of his personal experiences.
