Gates of Heaven

At 10am EDT/9am CDT tomorrow morning, on The Independant Film Channel, is a documentary by Errol Morris called Gates of Heaven. This is one of my favorite movies of all-time and I recommend that you watch it if at ALL possible. If you don't get IFC, or you're not willing to wake up that early for the film, I recommend that you go to your local well-stocked video store (Blockbusters and Hollywood Videos have it, even) and look in the VHS (it's not yet available on dvd) "documentary" or "special interest" section for it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Edited to add: Need a second opinion? Roger Ebert has this film on this "Great Movies" list.

Apparently there's a difference between IFC and IFC (Canada). I'll have to wait to see it or break down and rent it because it's not on my schedule.

That is my favorite doc ever. But you probably knew that already.

Not, of course, to be confused with Heaven's Gate.
