"Tim's Vermeer"

Watching a genius figure out how Vermeer did his paintings hundreds of years ago was an amazing watch. I'm not even into art, but enjoyed the doc thoroughly.

Dear Zachary - can't give away any spoilers, but the most powerful documentary I have ever seen

Talhotblonde - catfishing gone terribly wrong

Cropsey - creepy as hell, but fascinating

ETA: all on Netflix if memory serves me correctly

My all time favorite documentary series:



Hollywood, produced in the '70s by the great British film historian Kevin Brownlow, is a "celebration of American silent film". Narrated by James Mason, it contains great clips as well as interviews with many silent film stars, directors, writers, and even stuntmen, some of whom died before the series aired; Brownlow was able to record their stories in the nick of time.

I believe most if not all Hollywood episodes are on YouTube, though it make take some searching to find them. All the episodes are great, but if you can only watch two, make them "Comedy: A Serious Business", and "Hollywood goes to War", of special interest during this centennial of WWI.

Pururambo or blackfish. Pururambo is an expedition into papa New Guinea. Blackfish is about the killer whales at sea world. Both are awesome and on Netflix.

This has reminded me, I have to get the girls at the office to watch Dear Zachary. I did at the last company I worked at several years ago. They hated me afterwards, but I liked watching them crumble. The first one started watching it on her ipad during lunch, couldn't stop and was so distraught she left and went home at 3pm.

Kinda excited about new victims tomorrow now though I'll have to wait until at least Tuesday if I can get a few to watch it tomorrow.

1. Talladega Nights: The legend of Ricky Bobby

This documentary looks into the world of auto racing.

2. Anchorman: This documentary captures the essence of the TV news business of the 1970's

The documentary on the Eagles was cool. So was the one on Pink Floyd. The Whites of WV showed how the white trash world works. Cocaine Cowboys was good too. I also saw one on dirt bikes in the hood of Baltimore. Pretty crazy in light of recent events but I can't remember the name.

Hearts and Minds (1974)

The commentary in the middle by William Marshall was numbing. His description of the napalm (post toasty to the bitter, ya dig) was horribly gut wrenching.

He died recently after living the most successful of lives.

Its on youtube among other places

June 17, 1994.

It's one of the ESPN 30 for 30s. Very innovative storytelling.
