I think there are enough Wrestlemania releases to qualify as their own category or genre. Overpar, I know you like the nature stuff, maybe it should be about that instead of everything from WWII to The Titanic and E! True Hollywood Stories, Just my 2¢

Yeah, I mainly like the nature stuff. I am thinking that I might categorize the list into sub-genres to neaten it up a bit. It is a rather lengthy list.

Re: Blu-ray Documentary & Special Interest Release Thread
Did you want music titles in this thread? Or did you not really want concerts, but music titles that could be classified as documentaries?

Re: Blu-ray Documentary & Special Interest Release Thread
I am putting up Region A playable documentaries. I am not including concerts, unless it is a documentary like Woodstock. Thanks for the input, though.
