I quite like his style.

Currently been watching Carl Sagan's Cosmos, and BBC's The Planets.

'vice documentaries' on youtube are cool.

Grizzly Man is quite interesting! I've watched a few others but I forgot the titles, unfortunately. Haha. I will go back to this thread once I have access to my laptop!

After Life: The Strange Science of Decay



"Ever wondered what would happen in your own home if you were taken away, and everything inside was left to rot? The answer is revealed in this fascinating programme, which explores the strange and surprising science of decay.

For two months in summer 2011, a glass box containing a typical kitchen and garden was left to rot in full public view within Edinburgh Zoo. In this resulting documentary, presenter Dr George McGavin and his team use time-lapse cameras and specialist photography to capture the extraordinary way in which moulds, microbes and insects are able to break down our everyday things and allow new life to emerge from old.

Decay is something that many of us are repulsed by. But as the programme shows, it's a process that's vital in nature. And seen in close up, it has an unexpected and sometimes mesmerising beauty."

After Life: The Strange Science of Decay

What a fascinating documentary. I remember being intrigued by decay ever since I saw some carrion beetles burying a squirrel near my house. Thank you for sharing that.

Through the wormhole hosted by Morgan Freeman.
http://science.discovery.com/tv-shows/through-the-wormhole

One of my favorite documentary series and very highly rated one. It explores the various topics related to universe and life, definitely worth a watch (I was skeptical about giving it a try and was pleasantly surprised!).

 

[NightHawkJohn]

Watch this about the great inventor Nikola Tesla,

Inside Nature's Giants

Drugs Live: The Ecstasy Trial

Clearing the Smoke: The Science of Cannabis

 

[echo]

I recently watched a movie online from Chris Rock called,"Good Hair" I suppose it's not technically a documentary but it sort of similar since I found it pretty informative. I suggest people watch it if you feel like watching a documentary but don't feel like watching a "too serious" documentary, if you want to watch something lighthearted.

 

[Shipster0958]

Religulous with Bill Maher. Loved it.

 

[echo]

Uuuuuuuuuuuurgh, I hated that one with a passion, uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurghhhhhhhhhhhh. I need brain bleach to forget that exists. Uuuuuuuuuuurgh. I'm not religious but I'm spiritual and open minded and I believe that everyone has their own experiences and no person can tell another person,"Your beliefs are false" or 'your experiences aren't real" I think people just need to have acceptance and let people believe and experience in whatever the hell they want to believe and want to experience. Not undermine them for what they believe or experience. Everyone deserves respect and I think that "documentary" was just mocking people who have beliefs, making them look ridiculous. I don't care if people are atheists or super religious or just open minded or spiritual, everyone should just believe or not believe in whatever they want to believe or not believe and not try to act like they're better than others because they're not, their smugness and 'know it all' attitudes repulses me. I can't stand atheists who think they're superior to spiritual people, just leave those people alone and let them believe in whatever they want to believe, atheists haven't walked on a spiritual person's shoes, they don't know the real spiritual experiences they've had (I have plenty of spiritual experiences and manifestations I've witnessed for years, the most recent was just yesterday and I wouldn't appreciate someone undermining me for my own personal life experiences that just so happen to be spiritual in nature), they just don't know and they don't really have the right to act superior and immature and ridicule people for their beliefs. Just my 2 cents. I just don't think it's ever right to ridicule or undermine other people based on their personal beliefs or experiences in their life, that's what I truly find ridiculous. I don't want this to become an argument so I'll stop there.

Well, you should probably stay away from documentaries such as these. Those are for the people who like to explore the questions, and are interested in hearing how others justify their own experiences. It is taken as a "poking fun" documentary, but a lot of it has to do with Bill Maher being a comedian I think. And atheists as well as Christians are ridiculed for their non-belief and are often snubbed by Christians who find themselves superior to atheists for believing they don't have a direct connection to their divine being. I've been told by countless Christians on end that I was going to hell for having no religious beliefs.

I, also, do not want to go into an argument. Just had to throw in my two cents, which I'm censoring in short form. I could go into depth with it, but again...

Peace peace my friend
