Documentaries

[bright lights, big city]

surprised I couldn't find a good old thread all about docs. I'm always looking for some good documentaries to watch. Here's a classic from 1994, that I recently re-watched, Hoop Dreams. One of my all-time faves, but then again I'm a basketball junkie. this took place in Chicago when I was growing up and all I cared about was basketball too. Whole thing's on youtube in like 17 parts.

Anvil: The Story of Anvil. One of my all time favorites.

At 14, best friends Robb Reiner and Lips made a pact to rock together forever. Their band, Anvil, hailed as the "demi-gods of Canadian metal, " influenced a musical generation that includes Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax, despite never hitting the big time. Following a calamitous European tour, Lips and Robb, now in their fifties, set off to record their 13th album in one last attempt to fulfill their boyhood dreams

the last documentary i watched that affected me quite a lot was marwencol.

Planet Earth as well as Blue Planet were amazing while under the influence. They just put into a nice zone. And there's just something soothing about David Attenborough's voice.

This was also a really great documentary, I learned a lot from it.

Finally found this one in the archives. Theis actually posted this earlier this year, and it blew me away. I think  you'd like this one, Miriam. Here's the quote from Theis.

I also watched this documentary called "Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father".

Probably the most devastating doc I've ever seen. Highly recommended.
