Netflix documentaries?

Post by Miller` »

Now that we're fully into the summer season for TV shows, I like to watch some random things during the day while working and lately started watching documentaries on Netflix. Some cool ones so far are a few indy wrestling docs, the guy behind Elmo, and Pearl Jam 20. Any that I'm missing that are must-watch?

Here are the last 3 I watched and they were all pretty good.

1.) Bigger, Stronger, Faster - About 2 brothers that use steroids to achieve their athletic goals.
2.) Conan O' Brien Can't Stop - Filmed during his year off-air.
3.) It Might Get Loud - The Edge, Jimmy Paige, and Jack White all talk about their roots/influences in music and jam together at the end.

Edit: There is a new Bob Marley one called One Love that I want to see. If anyone has seen it post their opinion.

1 - One of the wrestling docs had a steriod side to it and found that intriguing. Will watch.
2 - Watched and two thumbs up.
3 - Interesting.

Restrepo and Armadillo are really good if you like military stuff

Touching the Void is possibly the best documentary I've ever seen

Inside Job or Too Big to Fail aren't bad either but they were more relevant a few years ago.

If you are still looking, I just saw "I Am Bruce Lee". Very good movie with lots of commentary from his family, older student, UFC fighters, boxers, etc.

These are pretty interesting:

1) Iran and the West
First part, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOaGmK8aTHQ
Second part, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91xuueQ7 ... re=related
Third part, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afv4-gd7 ... ure=relmfu

2) The Putin System
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA-1qQF5 ... r_embedded#!

3) Putin, Russia and the West: "Taking Control"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch_yJYol ... re=related

4) The National Geographic, "Ultimate Factories" series is amazing.

5) The Wealth Channel's, "Tales of Castles and Kings" is interesting.

I have more history documentaries titles and videos, but many people don't find them interesting, apparently.

If you have not yet seen Life in A Day which is on Netflix you REALLY REALLY need to! It is by far one of the most interesting documentaries I have seen. It does not follow the standard narrative style, but rather it was created by some 80,000 different movies created by different people throughout the world, all spliced together to create a full 24 hour day. If follows a guys who has been bicycling around the world for the past 8 years or so, and the can skip to a guy going to work in L.A, then to a couple of sheep farmers in rural Russia. It is just amazing and makes you realize just how many other people are on this earth.
