- #1March 30, 2018"As a substance abuse professional (MSW), I was very interested in this documentary. It's pretty good and offers some balance to the debate. Dr. Sanjay Gupta is the host, and he has changed his mind on the legalization and use of marijuana. I mostly agree with him, though I still worry about communities that will be hit by legalization. Most of the kids I worked with smoked MANY blunts a day (for real, I stopped asking if they smoked weed, and started asking just that: how many blunts a day do you smoke). But Gupta is balanced and the documentary offers sound scientific information. I would just also like to say, some of the literature he discusses is a bit dated (just a few years out)! So, while it is pretty current, it is not quite the 'best' science out there. If it's a topic that you are interested in, do a comprehensive lit review. But please! Only peer-reviewed studies!!"

It is biographical in nature and follows the story of Roger Ebert and i find him and his life journey fascinating. I think we can learn a lot about how others live from these shows. The show was available in English ans Spanish and while it is two hours long, it was thoroughly enjoyable and it was over before it even began. It's one I would watch again."

Life Itself - #3January 3, 2018"Hell on Earth: The Fall of Syria and Rise of ISIS is a documentary available from iTunes for 9.99. It is about ISIS coming to power and taking over Syria as you might expect from the title. It may be a quality documentary but I can't imagine paying $9.99 to watch it. Considering there are only 7 reviews on iTunes I'm going to assume other people think the same thing as me. There are plenty of great documentaries that I can watch on Amazon Prime or Netflix for no charge."

Hell On Earth: The Fall of Syria and the Rise of ISIS - #4September 21, 2018"So i just started getting into documentaries...While i was browsing reddit most people suggested that the best docu they have seen is Planet Earth which was released in 2006. I was really unfamiliar with it because i am not really a fan of docus but after i watched Grizzly Man while i was staying at my auntie's house i got interested on docus. Anyway, so Planet Earth is so breathtaking...I had no idea that there were such beauty in our planet."

Planet Earth - #5January 1, 2018"I love documentaries. My friend recommended Room 237 to me. This is a great documentary about the movie the Shining and explores all the different fan theories related to it. It's really very interesting, especially if you like horror movies and The Shining. I learned so much from this film about The Shining and horror movies in general. If you love documentaries and horror films, check out Room 237."

Room 237 - #6January 7, 2018"This is an unfortunate story about a young man's life ruined by the corruption of the police system as he is wrongfully accused, freed from that accusation and conviction, just to be charged again with another false accusation which police are suspected of setting him up with false evidence to put him back in prison. This story has an interesting plot and one tat should keep your attention."

Making a Murderer - #7September 21, 2018"Excellent film! TBH Fear of 13 doesn't look like much where Nick Yarris talks about his life of petty crime. But damn this it got twists and turns. I was really surprised when i saw this despite its lack of frills, challenging and engaging anecdotes. But i think i pretty much changed my view on this film as i was watching it until the end."

The Fear of 13 - #8April 29, 2018"This is a documentary that follows a new start up company of 2 friends trying to get rich quick. You see everything start going there way at first but then how fast things begin to fall apart. This is an interesting documentary and especially if your considering to open up a business a must see!"

It's an illuminating look into some of the personal dynamics that go into these competitions. It's valuable as both a character study and as a look at the limits of the human physique."

Pumping Iron - #10September 21, 2018"Man on a Wire is great with its great and very inspiring story but i dont think it is the best out there. Because you know why would producers wanted to make a documentary just about a pointless stunt wherein Petit will cross between the twin towers of the World Trade Center on a tightrope eh?"
Refering to:
Man on a Wire - #11September 21, 2018"I've seen this so many time already and i think it gets better every time i do. Contrary to what some people say i i believe the people behind this are laughing and ridiculing Borchardt despite some of the humor on it. But i feel underneath those is that they really admire him."

American Movie - #12September 21, 2018"Watched this documentary without knowing anything about it and was literally blown away. Although i admit it starts a little slow but was so wild towards the ending. I suggest you also watch it without knowing anything about the story because you'll be entertained."

The Jinx - #13January 3, 2018"The ISIS Propaganda Machine is an extremely interesting film that delves into a lot of the ways the group has utilized technology and expanded its reach with its message. Though difficult to imagine, the film is fascinating in the research into our reality."

The ISIS Propaganda Machine - #14September 21, 2018"Shocking! I was stunned at how much the catholic church has knowingly covered up such things to protect themselves and its predator priests. I felt like i'll throw up when the victims were talking about their experience bcoz you can clearly see their pain."

The Keepers - #15September 21, 2018"Not really sure this is the best per se but it got stuck with me for a long time. I remember when i saw it for the first time long ago with my mum and without knowing what will happen at the end my mum said that "That bear will eat that man""

Grizzly Man - #16December 27, 2017"Really good movie! At first I thought I wouldn't like it because I'm usually into comedy and romance movies. But I can never pass up a movie that's based on a true story! It did not disappoint me. I'm so glad that I gave it a chance!"

West Of Memphis - #17January 1, 2018"I wanted to watch and become immersed in a well made documentary. O.J: Made in America is a wonderful look into the life of OJ Simpson and the various things that occurred throughout his life. I highly recommend this to watch."

O.J.: Made in America - #18January 3, 2018"If you love documentaries you need to check this one out. It is definitely one of my favorites. Very informal and interesting even to people who had no ideal who Philippe Petit was. It is one of the most well made I've seen."

Man on Wire - #19January 1, 2018"Werner Herzog's documentary Cave of Forgotten Dreams is a great movie even for people who don't necessarily like documentaries. Cave of Forgotten Dreams explores the perplexing world of cave paintings and their history."

Biggie and Tupac - #22January 5, 2018"This is a great documentary, especially if you enjoy older crime documentaries. If you enjoy watching documentaries about the crime in the 80's this is something I'd definitely recommend."

The Thin Blue Line - #23September 21, 2018"Funny. sad. fascinating. It was so much more than a film about arguing over an amputated leg...IMO the ending is a perfect example of irony at its best eh"
