WOW! Seriously just WOW. I mean I knew most of it but was still so much info, facts and history. I was so glued to the TV. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-documentaries#post-56159 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 09:18:36 +0000 SAHM0811 56159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I thought of another one... It's called Life in a Day... It's produced by Ridley Scott and it was comprised from thousands of YouTube submissions from around the world of films that were shot on the same day. I found it to be neat and pretty well done! Hubby thought it was so-so. It depends on your taste in films, of course.</p> <p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/24/magazine/around-the-world-in-one-day-on-youtube.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/24/magazine/around-the-world-in-one-day-on-youtube.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-documentaries#post-56157 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 09:13:13 +0000 looch 56157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watch tons of documentaries, mostly the ones on BBC.

(I show it to my AP students)<br /> Tapped (about bottled water) I think that's the name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-documentaries#post-55984 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 15:55:33 +0000 Mrs. Bee 55984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the joan rivers one was good too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-documentaries#post-55979 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 15:47:13 +0000 emahlee 55979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the recommendations!</p> <p>I've added Spellbound, Mad Hot Ballroom, Comedian, Bill Cunningham New York, Herb &amp; Dorothy, President's Photographer, Confessions of a Superhero and The King of Kong to the "to-watch" list. </p> <p>I watched The Cove and enjoyed it profusely, but it is very sad. I'll save all sad documentaries (Dearest Zachary and Seoul Train) for a later time. Not sure if I can handle too much emotional stimulus whole pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-documentaries#post-54721 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:53:12 +0000 Rubies 54721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"September Issue" was a good one...And "Babies". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-documentaries#post-54717 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:49:32 +0000 SAHM0811 54717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The September Issue is one of my favorite movies! For documentaries, I like a bunch on Netflix but hard to say which are my favorite since I like them all for different reasons. I really liked The President's Photographer. I also thought The Cove was really good (although sad). DH really likes Confessions of a Superhero and The King of Kong. One of the saddest movies I ever saw was a documentary called Dearest Zachary... I wouldn't recommend it to parents, esp new parents... It was just too sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-documentaries#post-54714 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:45:40 +0000 Rubies 54714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a documentary called "Seoul Train" and it's about North Koreans trying to escape. It's so sad...Terrifying...You see peoples' desparation. SIGH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-documentaries#post-54709 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:43:30 +0000 yin 54709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bill Cunningham New York and Herb &amp; Dorothy are my current faves. I also enjoy PBS specials and documentaries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-documentaries#post-54650 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:01:35 +0000 heffalump 54650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love documentaries, I'm also always watching them on Netflix. But I never remember the names. I just watched one about people who get all of their food from dumpsters because they don't like to waste food. It was pretty interesting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-documentaries#post-54632 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 13:54:08 +0000 DillonLion 54632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved Man on Wire!! I love documentaries and would always watch them when we had Netflix on Demand or whatever. We don't have it anymore, and I miss it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-documentaries#post-54604 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 13:28:52 +0000 mrbee 54604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved the documentary, Comedian. It captures a lot of truths about comedians, and also pretty accurately describes how a lot of driven people assess their own lives:<br /> <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328962/" rel="nofollow">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328962/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-documentaries#post-54599 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 13:26:01 +0000 banana 54599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved Spellbound. I've seen it at least 10 times. My husband who isn't that into documentaries loved that one too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-documentaries#post-54474 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:19:28 +0000 Mrs. Bee 54474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i love documentaries and wish i had time to watch more! for some reason mad hot ballroom came to mind right away. it's a sweet little documentary about ballroom dance competitions among inner city kids in ny and brooklyn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-documentaries#post-54472 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:14:31 +0000 emahlee 54472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you watch documentaries?
