Looking for some new recommendations. I've watched most of the well known ones. Just watched "Somm" it was super interesting. Crazy to think there are people out there who literally put that much work into their craft. Need some new recs though

Literally anything with Ken Burns' name attached to it. I've already watched all of them on Netflix

"Dear Zachary" was pretty solid, but if was pretty sad too.

I enjoyed the following:

Shiek
Mel Brooks Makes a Noise
I Know That Voice
That Guy Who was in That Thing
Generation Iron
Pumping Iron
Strong Man
Muscle Shoals
Video Games The Movie
Atari: Game Over
Virunga

I know you said you watched the well known ones. I am not sure which ones on that list are "well known", though I figure several are. Thread was kind of quiet so I thought I would throw them out there. Was never a big Doc watcher until we got Netflix.

My favorite show on Netflix that's fits the Doc genre is Anthony Bourdains Parts Unknown.

The one about GMO's was good

just got done watching the great war on netflix. holy shite it was awesome

dude needs his own TV channel


I really enjoyed the Smithsonian one on the Komakazi pilots that was well done. America the story of us is good. The men who built america is really good. Mankind is really good.


If you have not seen the one on Auschwitz it's a must watch.
