This Emotional Life -- I loved but DH thought it felt like sitting through a class. It's by the guy who wrote Stumbling Into Happiness, the Harvard prof who teaches happiness courses.

"The Two Escobars" is excellent. I highly recommend it.

Hiding and Seeking was really good. Here's the Netflix description:

n this compelling documentary from the directors of the just-as-riveting A Life Apart: Hasidism in America, a father takes his grown-up Orthodox Jewish sons to Poland to teach them about the perils of putting up walls to keep those they deem dangerous outside. After he introduces them to the Polish family who helped their grandfather during the Holocaust, they discover the value in building bridges.

When We Were Kings -- Older, but really well done. Won the Academy Award in 1996.

King of Kong is supposed to be good, but I have not seen it.

I liked Blood Into Wine, which is the story of the singer from Tool starting a vineyard in Arizona. It was interesting, even if you're not a Tool fan.

My favorite so far is National Geographic's The Moment Of Death. It has some fascinating biology information.

I'm about halfway into The Atheism Tapes, very interesting.

There was one about bottled water, but I can't remember the name.

I am new to Netflix and still working on the endless documentaries.

"The Great Happiness Space" -- I decided to watch it because it was on Netflix Instant, and I was bored. And it was GREAT. I was so hooked.

There's a twist in it that I think is much better if you don't know about it in advance, so I suggest not reading a ton about it first. Here's the summary from Netflix:

"This compelling film explores the rarely seen world of Japanese host boys, men who are paid to entertain wealthy women in exclusive nightclubs. Almost but not quite gigolos, more akin to male geishas, the host boys of Café Rakkyo share their secrets with director Jake Clennell in his first documentary. The narrative focuses on Issei, Osaka's top host boy, but all the characters in this unique subculture are fascinating."
