I enjoy watching Documentary's and with Jenn being gone and nearly every Documentary on Netflix having the the watch now feature, I decided to dedicate a night to watching some in my queue. The ones I watched were:
King of Kong
Helvetica
Cocaine Cowboys
King Corn
They were all really interesting. King of Kong was interesting at how much people can love and obsess about old-school arcade games. Helvetica (I wanted to do this post in Helvetica, but it wasn't an option in the Blogger editor) was pretty cool, and interesting in the history behind the most widely used type-faces of the last 50 years. Cocaine Cowboys showed that you can make a lot of money in the drug business, but also go to prison and die. King Corn made me start wondering about the negative affects of High-Fructose Corn Syrup and it also made me happy that I just bought my next year and half supply of meat from a small private ranch that doesn't feed the cow on corn in a stall the whole time.
I have a few more in my queue that I need to get to and plan doing so before school starts. I would also recommend all of these as well. If you know of any that are worth watching let me know.

all of those our good docs. You should check out 'e-dreams'- I believe you can stream it on Netflix.

I've got endless lists of documentaries to watch. "Tyson" is fantastic. (although it uses some harsh language and I usually make "R" exceptions for documentaries like this). Also, any film by Ross McElwee is fantastic. Most people don't know about him, but if you can get your hands on some of his films, check them out. I worked for him at Harvard.
