Can’t tell you how revolutionary this sports doc maker is. Shit is addictive. Start with history of the Seattle mariners then just succumb to the rest of them
Hale County This Morning, This Evening — Definitely an acquired taste, but imo one of the best documentaries out there. Beautiful, slow, immersive. RaMell Ross took years worth of footage and curated a 76 minute work of art. Lots of discourse out there on it. HUGE rec. Paris is Burning — basic rec but worth it if you’ve never seen. House/ballroom scene of the mid/late ‘80s NYC. I sob consistently every time. Roger & Me — Love or hate Michael Moore, this doc is amazing. Covers US deindustrialization & the consequences for the midwest, specifically focusing on Flint, Michigan. All That Breathes — Another breathtakingly beautiful doc. Follows two brothers in Delhi who run a bird hospital for injured black kites. Hindu nationalism, interspecies connection, ecological collapse. Nominated for an oscar. So good.
For a basketball obsessed 12 year old, this was an amazing three hour watch. As a fairly naive, rural, Idaho kid, it really opened my eyes to some of the complexities of being a highly sought-after college basketball recruit while having to navigate inner city culture.
There will probably never be another documentary like this one. Social media and AAU ball have changed the high school basketball landscape.
wild story of friends turned into rivals and the two vastly different directions a band can go under the influence of drugs and ego. the footage takes place over the course of a decade and is often pretty raw - overall an incredible doc
Growing trend. Old people been doing it forever. Here to affirm they’re doing it right. Seeing movies with friends is great but sometimes you just gotta settle in by yourself
and like sometimes do it up nice. light some candles, cook a meal, make it festive or something. That -domestic come over I’ll make you a drink that maybe I’m not a good enough drink maker to make and hopefully it’s good-type hosting. havin them feel the love and fun of friendship
