No documentary filmmaker in history has been more successful than Michael Moore, and no other has been quite as divisive. He has won many of cinema's highest honors, and he's been lambasted and parodied in movies and on TV.
Twenty years after his first film, "Roger & Me," he continues to be a target for criticism from the right and sometimes even the left. Though in true Michael Moore-style, nearly every time criticism has been directed at the facts he presents in his movies, he has a response to back up his position. With his latest film, "Capitalism: A Love Story," arriving in theaters nationwide, here are five of the top controversies from Moore's movies, along with how he responded to each charge leveled against him.
