The Last Narco is great on Netflix
also, It Might Get Loud was terrific

Not sure if it is the same doc, but "The Last Narc" was very good

Watched “ The War” by Ken Burns the past week, very good.

Gonna start “ The Civil War” tonight.I saw it in 89, but want to see it again.

Everything Ken Burns does is fantastic. He has the Midas Touch.

I’m watching the first episode of The Furry Detectives right now. Holy ****, this is next level bizarre.

 

[Glenn's Take]

Just got done watching this. An interesting view on his life if you're a big fan like me.

All of the Untold docs on Netflix, Johnny Football, Malice at the Palace, Breaking point, and my favorite, Shooting Guards. It is about Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenten's famous guns in the locker room. Very good if you haven't seen it. The one thing I learned was Arenas is actually a really funny, class clown dude. Crittenten was a crazy MoFo, went off the deep end after that was over.
Several other stories from all types of sports.

I was actually watching the Malice at the Palace live as it happened. That was weird. Ron Artest absolutely can't go into the stands, he just can't. But the real ahole in the whole situation was the guy that threw the beer. That's what I point to when people complain about why ushers won't let people slide down when seats are empty.

The fan came onto the floor. It was true Karma when he caught the fade and then slipped and busted his ***. While I do not approve of the players going into the stands, I get it. But they felt they was in danger and fans just kept on provoking them. I probably would have done the same thing if someone treated me the way fans did them.

Watched the Manti Teo doc. Really shows the power of the media. Man they destroyed that guy.

 

[AustinTXCat]

WWII in Colour also quite good.

 

[BlueBleedingMarine]

As mentioned on the other board, "Hurricane Katrina- Race against time" was excellent. Disturbing, but really good. On Hulu

I rented Happy Valley the other night, 2014 documentary about the Penn State Sandusky scandal. Not a whole lot of new information but the email strings alone from late 90s and early 2000s make it awfully hard to believe that Paterno was oblivious to what was going on, As just one example, Sandusky was subject of an investigation in 1998, which was discussed internally by PSU. Also, while she understandably refused to be interviewed for the movie, I also have to believe that Mrs. Sandusky was aware of her husband's crimes as well, too many things happened right in their own home.

Great Thread, Documentary fiend here. Wild Wild Country is the craziest Netflix one to me, but there are so many contenders - I'm a sucker for anything cultish, HBO has a ton in that genre.


This is a crazy one I don't see talked about often, looks like you can view it on a few of the free apps.

Crazy is right. It was interesting to get a peek behind the scenes of how people can buy into that stuff.

Bad sport need for weed on Netflix was the most recent. It's so bizarre
