HappyGrace Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 They love Man vs. Wild, we have also seen a Koko the gorilla documentary, and have an archeological one on order about the Exodus, etc. We are new to Netflix and pretty conservative. They have suggested a bunch that look great; just wondering what your faves are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeBeaks Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) We have enjoyed several IMAX films through netflix. DK Eyewitness films have been a hit, most recently Rock and Mineral. We liked Meerkat Manor. Adding on as I reviewed our queue: I have several in there but haven't viewed them yet from the History Channel on various ancient events (we are still doing ancients).

Slartibartfast Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) Have y'all seen The God's Must Be Crazy or Animals are Beautiful People? They are pretty funny. Animals Are Beautiful People does contain a segment where this tree's fruit ripens, falls to the ground and begins to ferment. This is followed by a drunken animal segment then a hungover animal segment. I am not sure if you would be ok with that type of thing. I haven't seen Master Blasters being mentioned yet. It is like Junkyard Wars but with explosives. In one episode they were supposed to build a rocket out of a car, with parachutes so it could be recovered in good shape. If you want to see two minis get destroyed Edited January 15, 2010 by Sis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 We have enjoyed several IMAX films through netflix. DK Eyewitness films have been a hit, most recently Rock and Mineral. We liked Meerkat Manor. Adding on as I reviewed our queue: I have several in there but haven't viewed them yet from the History Channel on various ancient events (we are still doing ancients). Is there an easier way to search for DK Eyewitness shows? I just want to see what they have, but I can't narrow it down to just Eyewitness dvds.
