Tell me the best damn documentaries you have ever seen. Only those that have something to do with science (most preferred), nature, etc.

Also no politics, conspiracies, history, religion, etc

samefag. jk. right now i am watching this lecture:

not a documentary by any means, but it doesn't need a narrative, soundtrack, or nifty editing to be interesting

it's about futuristic neural implants

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 4 23:40:40 2011 No.2645244 Planet Earth was pretty good. I'd say Cosmos too, but I'm not sure if it's really a documentary.

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 4 23:43:40 2011 No.2645264 >>2645225 I have seen What is reality and it was pretty good... but most of the things I already knew except for the bit about quantum computers. Are other BBC horizon documentaries as good? >>2645231 Seen it.

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 4 23:53:40 2011 No.2645307 This movie called Waking Life. You have to pause it and think.

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 4 23:55:40 2011 No.2645313 Connections is awesome. At least the first one.

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 4 23:58:40 2011 No.2645325 >>2645315 What's wrong about that statement? Please enlighten me. >>2645307 I saw that... definitely one of my favorites. I hate that people call that movie pretentious.

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 4 23:58:40 2011 No.2645328 Nova's The Elegant Universe is my favorite, I've seen it probably 100 times. Strangely, it's not my favorite Greene book.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 5 00:00:40 2011 No.2645336 >>2645328 I have seen that... like twice. Definitely recommended for others. I also read the book. It is really amazing.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 5 00:01:40 2011 No.2645347 >>2645331 It's about connections, narrated by James Burke. It's hard to explain. Once you watch it, you'll understand. The entire thing is available to watch on youtube.

Its only part one of 4, (you can find the rest on youtube). There was a version with all parts in one clip but BBC had to be a bitch and get it taken down. But yes, this is a must see.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 5 00:10:40 2011 No.2645396 Cosmos (Carl Sagan) - miniseries Can't count how many times I've seen it. Absolutely the best. Planet Earth is good, too.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 5 00:10:40 2011 No.2645397 >>2645347 >>2645361 I will certainly check both of those out... thanks a lot guys!

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 5 00:15:40 2011 No.2645415 >>2645325 I watched that movie with two friends. It took us six hour because we paused it and talked about it so much in between.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 5 00:15:40 2011 No.2645420 >>2645397 no problem

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 5 00:27:40 2011 No.2645480 >>2645415 Great movie... I wish they made more of those kinds of movies.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 5 00:34:40 2011 No.2645509 Check out "The Secret Life of Chaos" It's a BBC documentary about the chaos theory, and it's very interesting.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 5 00:40:40 2011 No.2645528 >>2645509 loved it, was really cool

>>	:D !bnigGers.Q Sat Mar 5 00:50:40 2011 No.2645562 the private life of plants by david attenborough its fucking awesome.. and the original life on earth series (1980) the new one just looks pretty but lacks a lot of content, and tbh the shots are not that great
