If you are still looking for documentaries/interesting movies to watch on netflix streaming I have a few to recommend. These are ones we watched in my film class that I actually enjoyed.

If you are down with subtitles for the foreign films then these are definitely worth checking out:

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (German w/English subtitles) - the older one, not the remake.

M (also German with English subtitles)

The Bicycle Theif (Italian with English subtitles)

Black Girl (mostly French but some English and with subtitles as well)

Breathless (French w/ English subtitles)

Documentaries:

South of the Border

The Business of Being Born

    Thank ya!  And I've seen the Business of Being Born.  That will really make you think.  I've got it saved on our queue and have already told H it's mandatory viewing in the near future.  He's trying to psyche himself up for it, though.  :)

  • I told Steve that when we are getting ready to TTC he will need to watch it too. Although I already warned him that he'll see way more of Ricki Lake than he ever wanted to. lol

    It really does make you think. After watching it I looked at our insurance and there is only one midwife within 20 miles of us that our insurance would allow us to use and no birthing centers. Crazy.

    ETA: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is much better when you watch it with a good buzz going. It's a German Expressionist movie with lots of sharp, almost jarring contrasts. I watched it with a bottle of wine and it made the whole thing awesome.

    You know me too well.

  • And I will also add that Black Girl made me cry. It's sad... the movie itself is about colonialism and the story of its impact on a girl from a village in Africa.
