| In addition to documentaries, I'm also including docufiction and mockumentaries.
I'm a HUGE fan of them! I know a lot of people think documentaries are boring (and some of them ARE) but if you find one on a good subject, they're fascinating! I have to say, though, I've watched more fictional documentaries than factual ones. I especially love documentaries dealing with prehistoric life.
Here's a list of documentaries/docufiction I've enjoyed;
* The Walking With series (Dinosaurs, Monsters, Beasts) * Dinosaur Planet * Jurassic Fight Club * Planet Dinosaur * Life After People * Alien Planet * The Poughkeepsie Tapes * Very Young Girls * The Future is Wild * The Blair Witch Project * Best in Show * REC
So, are any other people here fans? |

| Yes! I like Life After People. Netflixs has a ton of documentaries that I have been recently watching. I don't have a favorite, but recently I have watched Food Inc. and One Percent. |

| Oh I love documentaries! I love watching ones about religious cults and food in America.
Loved The One Percent, Food Inc., King Corn, and lots of others. I have Netflix too so I try to watch a new documentary every week. Good times! |

| King Corn is pretty good; they made a follow-up to it too but I can't remember the name, like basically where all the corn ends up (high fructose corn syrup) Pretty interesting stuff! |

| Well, of course it depends on my interests. I like studying about WW2 on the European side.
Also, I did watch an A&E (I believe) about Rasputin recently (on Netflix) which was really interesting. |

WOW, you sound like you like the same kinds of documentaries that I do! The EXACT same types, no joke! They're such interesting topics, I could never get bored with them! I also love crime documentaries but I know those aren't for everyone XD |

| Netflix changed my life. It's funny, my sister has kindled a love of documentaries and so all summer long she's been watching every documentary Netflix has to offer. She even figured out how to get Netflix on her phone so she watched them on there but we made her stop because she was probably killing her eyes |

| I don't know if there are any WW2 buffs here, but recently on Netflix I saw "Triumph of the Will", a documentary (well, propaganda film really, but still documentary!) of the Third Reich's 1934 Nuremberg Party Rally. Basically, a film showing how Hitler brainwashed the people.
On a totally different topic, I have "Cosmos" saved, which is a documentary about space. (Nerd alert!) haha |

| Oh speaking of Netflix documentaries, my bf recently was into watching things on North Korea. Really interesting and kinda scary.
Also did anyone happen to see the Elmo documentary on there? It was really interesting. All about the puppeteer behind Elmo. :3 |
