Re: Favorite Documentaries
If anyone enjoys interesting photography of places you may never get to, I really love Antarctica: A Year on Ice. Many shots are some amazing time-lapse shots.
It took the filmmaker 10 years of trips from New Zealand to Antarctica for work. He developed his own equipment. Very interesting way to see life at a large scientific station. Not only does he capture the views but interesting interviews with those that spend winter there. Imagine going three months without sun? The doc used to be on Netflix. After it left, I missed it enough to buy the blu-ray. |

Re: Favorite Documentaries
Oddly enough, The Phantom Menace DVD documentary - "The Beginning" - is very, very good.
I also like raw footage, no narration, Observational documentaries. For example, "102 Minutes That Changed America" (9/11 documentary) |

Re: Favorite Documentaries
I recently watched The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On and it definitely makes it into my top 10 favorite documentaries of all time. I highly recommend it.
