I just watched Anselm (2023) by Wim Wenders; it made me think about how much room there is for documentary and art films to work with 3D in ways that blockbusters have not. Seeing a still shot of a forest at sunrise, or the pages of a book slowly being turned in 3D, was somewhat of a revelation for me.

Maybe some unorthodox choices but I’ve always been into non-narrative, experimental documentaries. Some of the best I know are “As I Was Moving Ahead, Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty”, “Koyaanisqatsi”, “Sans Soleil”. These were some of the purest, most powerful cinematic experiences I’ve had in my life, so I’d suggest you peep them.
On a (slightly) more conventional note, literally any documentary made by Herzog

But I would recommend anything by Frederick Wiseman- his movies are slow, and usually long! But he essentially picks a theme/place/institution and films the shit out of it and if one hits you at the right time, it feels so crazy that we have access to these peeks at reality. Very remarkably human!

People pay good money to go on tour buses, but every bus is a tour bus. Listen to beautiful music and look at the beautiful world. The soundtrack to Speed (1994) is also a good option.
