FaithManor Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 If you've watched a documentary on instant watch with Netflix and really liked it, felt it was well done and informative, then please make your recommendations. I want to start one in abut 15 minutes. Thanks, Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 If you like nature/animal stuff then any of the David Attenborough ones are good. Also Nova's Becoming Human if you are okay with evolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpedIntoTheDeepEndFirst Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 The Lottery was fascinating-not a break from education topics though. There is one on Shakespeare that was great...In Search of Shakespeare and Himalaya with Michael Palin was fab! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo Ninja Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Check out all Michael Palin's documentaries. Himalaya, Pole to Pole, Around the World in 80 Days, etc. They are interesting and fun to watch if you enjoy traveling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2cents Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hope you feel better soon! :sad: Here are some I have watched... The Boys: The Sherman Brothers Story- Really interesting! About the two brothers who wrote most of the Disney songs. Monster Quest (A show)-There are 3 seasons all on steaming too! It is all about the strange animals/creatures that are reported worldwide. This crytozoologist tries to find evidence. My youngest is addicted to this series. Amargosa-This one is about a woman who dances ballet and paints and moved from New York to Death Valley, CA. She fixed up the theater and puts on plays. Exit Through the Gift Shop-I am only halfway through but it is interesting too. About graffiti artists. Radio Bikini-About the atomic bomb testing on Bikini Island. It was interesting. I only wished for more info about the continuing effects.

KidsHappen Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Babies! http://movies.netflix.com/WiSearch?oq=babies&ac_posn=-1&v1=babies We loved this. Caution though, there is practically no speaking during the entire movine so if you need stimulating dialog then this might not be the one for you. My 11 year old watched it and was thoroughly engrossed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle My Bell Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Not a documentary ( I wanted to recommend The Perilous Fight, but it wasn't available for instant viewing) BUT may I recommend one of my all time favorite movies... North & South (2004) NR When her father uproots his family from their serene rural burg for an industrial mill town, parson's daughter Margaret Hale (Daniela Denby-Ashe) struggles to adapt to her harsh new surroundings in this BBC series based on Elizabeth Gaskell's novel. As her mother's health fails, Margaret throws herself into the fight for workers' rights and clashes with mill owner John Thornton (Richard Armitage). Sinead Cusack and Tim Pigott-Smith also star. Genre: Romantic Dramas, Pre-20th Century Period Pieces, Dramas Based on Classic Literature This show is: Dark, Romantic Format: DVD and streaming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Business of Being Born (This is best.) Stress: Potrait of a Killer NOVA: Crash of Flight 447 World's Most Dangerous Drug Frontline: The Medicated Child (if your child is already taking psychotropic meds then you might not want to watch this one.)

I want to start one in abut 15 minutes. Thanks, Faith Bigger, Stronger, Faster. It's about steroid use, but it's not strongly pro or con. It looks at the sociology of steroid use in sport. It's by a guy whose two brothers are on the juice and have been for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
