I've been greatly enjoying watching documentaries on netflix. However, as we all know, these documentaries are filled with biases and opinions that often go unchallenged. I would love to have some people to bounce ideas off of and consider what is a valid claim and what is simply unsubstantiated hooey.

I would like to start with the movie, "Vanishing of the Bees". There' s a great mix of attitudes in there. I haven't finished it yet, but one person in particular, Dennis Van Engelsdorp, was great. He was a scientist with an excellent attitude who demonstrated first class critical thinking.
 
I wonder if we can get a channel or some other grouping officially sanctioned by Netflix called JREF? My wife and I alternately groan, cry, and cheer when we look at the documentary listing they have.
 
I can't play because I was skeptical that Netflix was suddenly worth 60% more overnight and cancelled my subscriptions.

However I do remember there being some National Geographic programs available for streaming that looked interesting.
 
"God of Wonders" had a 4 star rating.

Led by a selection of Christian authors, ministers and biblical scholars, this documentary makes a compelling argument for the theory that the universe is the creation of an intelligent being. With contributions from theologian John Whitcomb, Berean Call ministry founder Dave Hunt and others, the program examines many aspects of the physical world, from the complex structure of DNA to the formation of water molecules, that point to a divine plan.

I gave it 1 star. There is a movie for "The Secret" too.

I watched the movie Fat Head after reading the description that stated "skeptics beware" !

Quick description from Amazon:
Comedian and former health writer Tom Naughton replies to the Super Size Me crowd by losing weight on a fat-laden fast-food diet including plenty of double quarter-pounders and fried chicken while demonstrating that nearly everything we've been told about obesity and healthy eating is wrong. Fat Head features humorous animations as well as informative interviews with doctors, nutritionists, and political scientists.

I found it laced with Pseudoscience, a interesting watch non the less.
 
Sorry for two posts, but I just remembered the best/worst documentary on Netflix streaming.

Is Michael Jackson Really Dead !!!!!!!!

I have never laughed so hard in a long time, all along wanting to scream at the TV. The whole thing is a women trying to prove that Jackson is still alive. The points she tries to make are such nonsense. They are such a long stretch. I wish I could remember some of them off the top of my head.

I you want a laugh give it a watch. The production level is so low it makes me wonder what Netflix standers are.

i'm vaguely ashamed to admit that I watched it.
Pretty convincing stuff.
Some big star will eventually have to do this.
 
They have "Loose Change".

Nuff said, although I do wonder if, now that Dylan Avery has recanted his belief in a 9/11 conspiracy, will Netflix pull it?
