Bill Cunningham New York (joyous)
King of Kong (so good!)
The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill

Not sure if these are available for streaming but they are all great. Thanks for adding to my Netflix queue!

You’ve already covered two of my suggestions, “Beer Wars” and “Herb and Dorothy”, so next up is “Senna”. Highly recommended.

Well, you already watched Being Elmo, so…hm. Maybe “Comedian” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328962/)? It’s the documentary Seinfeld made a while back to show his process for coming up with a new act. Pretty fascinating.

Also, this is my favorite line: “…and when I tried to make the chart in Excel I couldn’t figure out how so I made it in Paintbrush instead which is basically the same program.”

“Farewell” (netflix streaming): Not a documentary, but a fantastic historical drama that covers an obscure but highly influential moment in geopolitics.

I think I tweeted this to you yesterday, but when I asked for documentaries to watch, a lot of twitter followers suggested “Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles.” It was very interesting. Also, HBO had a documentary called “Loot” about WWII vets and their secret hidden war prizes that completely captivated me.

You have to watch Senna – amazing story about a formula one racer. I won’t give anything away, but even if you don’t like racing (which I don’t) it’s an unbelievable documentary.

Also, Darkon is hilarious and a great one to watch.

Enjoy!
