I like watching them. I recently watched the King of Kong, and Dear Zachary. I need some suggestions for some more to watch.

Tyson is a good one, and Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals is one of my favorites that I've seen. I think you'd love that one. Also Cocaine Cowboys, if you haven't seen that one yet.

If you like space and cosmic stuff I'd highly recommend For All Mankind. It's about the 1969 moon landing and it's hypnotic. Goes great with some bud too.

Forgot to mention that I saw these as well. I actually watched Cocaine Cowboys when you recommended it. Is the second one good? I have the bird magic thing on my computer. I have watched it at least 10 times. Pitiful I know. Tyson was awesome.

I imagine that would be difficult to watch.

The general consensus seems to be not no, but frick no. I've never seen it, but don't ever plan on it either.

Hoe did you/your wife handle Dear Zachary..?

The Bridge is really good, but very somber.

Man on Wire - extremely entertaining

The Cove - like The Bridge in that it can be kind of a downer and tear jerker but it's much much better.

The Thin Blue Line

Gates of Heaven

I.O.U.S.A. - about our national debt, the history of it in our country and where we are headed if nothing changes. Very good documentary and the graphics are outstanding (they have to be since a lot of the film is statistics and numbers).

I may look on my netflix later to see any I'm not thinking of that I've seen. But these are off the top of my head.

I watched it alone. And told her about it. It was moving and all, but it didn't affect me like I anticipated. Probably because I am just cold.
