Documentaries

I’m in the mood for a good documentary

What are your favorite documentaries?

Personally, I love science and engineering documentaries
Love watching NOVA( no new episodes until April :frowning: )

not a big fan of crime documentaries(they just get me all depressed)

Some of my favourites:

Fire in Babylon - Movie about the rise of West Indian cricket team of the 70s.
Senna - the life of Ayrton Senna

Connections - British TV series about the history of science and invention. It’s got enough in every episode to set me thinking for a long, long time.

I can’t recall all the other science documentaries but I watch tons of them.

Planet Earth, South Pacific, BBC wildlife specials, Echo and the elephants of Amboseli were all beautifully shot, and I often watch them just for the scenery.

Megafactories, Million2One, Journey to the edge of the universe, Banged up abroad, etc.

Almost anything by Adam Curtis.

Get this in HD and your mind will be blown away. :evilgrin::evilgrin:

NOVA’s site had a great one about the race to absolute zero, it was pretty interesting. They also have one on Tesla I keep meaning to watch. I recently watched Grizzly Man, it was more weird and awkward than anything. Stephen Hawking’s Universe was cool, also there are some BBC space ones, I liked the ones about the sun and the giant/outer planets which went into the voyager missions, very cool time. I have Trinity and Beyond about the A-Bomb which I may watch in the next few days, I’ll keep you posted.

awesome video. Just what I love to watch

@(jay) I haven’t seen too many WWII documentaries. I’ve seen tons of documentaries on the solar system. The last Nova doc that I saw was about quantum mechanics(crazy stuff). Nova science now needs to come back.

The death of Yugoslavia is not bad. Also…conflict tiger is pretty good
