All the Adam Curtis documentaries are worth seeing in my opinion. I would try to watch them chronologically, so you can see how his theories develop over time. The must see short list I recommend would be:
The Century of the Self - 2002
The Power of Nightmares - 2004
The Trap: What Happened to Our Dream of Freedom - 2007
It Felt Like a Kiss - 2009
All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace - 2011
HyperNormalisation - 2016
Can't Get You Out of My Head - 2021
Craig Baldwin directed a great documentary about intellectual property and music production titled Sonic Outlaws - 1995
An oldie, but well worth the watch, is titled The Atomic Cafe - 1982
Stare Into the Lights My Pretties - 2017 is about our new found pastime: screen time
And on that note I will stop for now.
I”ve watched all Curtis’ stuff apart from TraumaZone and I couldn’t agree more. I watched the first episode of that one a couple of night ago, I’m still processing.
I like his story-telling approach to narrative. I have yet to watch TraumaZone, but it's on my list.
I put it off because there’s no narration in TraumaZone, just captions but it works so well.
