Just finished a fifteen part documentary called
The Story of Film: An Odyssey. I learned so much from watching it. You can stream it from Netflix and it's broken up into fifteen one-hour segments… phew!! I'd watch a segment every day or two. This documentary really shows how the great movies of all time were directed. The film clips and interviews were great and I fell in love with the Irish accent of the director/narrator Mark Cousins.
Another good thing I recently watched was
Woody Allen: A Documentary. It's about three hours long but is broken up into two parts. Despite the disgust I feel about his liason with his stepdaughter, I love, love, love Woody Allen movies. This documentary is excellent. It doesn't shy away from controversy and you really get to know him well through his own words.
