I have been watching a lot of movies this week. Especially on the plane on my way to Dubai. I watched Encounters at the End of the World, a documentary by Werner Herzog and then 5 movies on the plane: Le Scaphandre et le Papillon, Entre les Murs, Enter the Dragon, Man on Wire, and Superman(1978). Today I played The Curse of the Black Freighter and Under the Hood which are 2 extras from the world of The Watchmen.
However there are 2 of these that stand out considerably: Encounters at the End of the World and Man on Wire, which happen to be 2 incredible documentaries. The first one is about why and who are the people who go to Antarctica (i watched it 3 times), and the second is a documentary about Philippe Petit, a funanbule who walked on a wire between the twin towers in 1974.
They are both very different in styles. I know not alot of people like to watch documentaries, but they are sometimes types of movies that can really keep you on the edge of your seat, especially having narrators such as Herzog and Philippe Petit.
Watch them and you won't regret it.
