Just watched this. Great suggestion and that was excellent. Anymore like this, for future viewings?

I just saw it as well. Wow. There's really not much else to say. Incredibly moving.

Sound City if it's on Netflix. Can't remember if I saw it there or on Amazon prime.

Never Sleep Again is a great one on the Nightmare on Elm Street series, but it's 4 hours long so plan accordingly or split it up.

Just watched A Band Called Death last weekend and really liked it. About the first black punk band in the 70's

I was happy with the results of the test. The guy who I wanted to fail, did.

I also enjoy wacky documentaries about bizarre kind of stuff

King of Kong

Documentary about a guy who holds the world record for highest Donkey Kong score, and makes hot sauce. A family man who loses his job decides to build his own DK cabinet and makes a run for the record. Old champ doesn't go down quietly.

I'm a gamer, and this is borderline painful to watch. But great tv.

Best scene.

Searching for Sugar Man - if it's still there.

I've seen almost all the Docs on Netflix, this was up there with Man on Wire, Undefeated, Spellbound, the Act of Killing, Muderball, the Imposter, Anvil, The Cove, etc.

ETA - It's on youtube.
