[quote=jawbone]Muscle Shoals was one of my favorites because I attended a police administrator training session one week in that area and Rick Hall brought his buddies for a jam session for us one night in the Hospitality room. I had no idea at that time who any of them were but I quickly learned they were very talented. I didn't realize I was in the presence of musical royalty until I watched the documentary. Man what I would give to replay that night knowing what I know now. A couple of the names I remember were Rick Hall, of course, Spooney Barger, and Candy Staton. I can't recall names but recognized a number of the other ones when I saw the show. Sadly, a lot of those guys are dying off these days.
Roger Hawkins, the Swampers drummer, died last week. I think David Hood is the only one left.
Restrepo, it's live footage from the "most dangerous" area of war in the world, the Korengal Valley.
I’m familiar with Outpost Restrepo. Tally never would give up that valley. F*ck that place. I’ll probably never watch that documentary but I’ve heard from enough buddies that have watched it that it puts you right back in the $hit. F*ck that $hit hole seriously.

Dark Side of the Ring. In particular the Road Warriors, Brian Pillman, New Jack, and Owen Hart episodes.

Many of the Ken Burns listed already. My favorite was WWII and Civil War.
The Muscle Shoal doc was excellent as well.
If your a music fan and a fan of the blues, especially Hill Country Blues, then give this one a shot. “You See Me Laughin” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XiW3oPv1vZc
T-Model Ford, Kimbrough, RL Burnside and the gang and the label that tried to keep them all in check. After watching this I felt like I was reliving my late high school/ college years with some country black folds we used to hang out with from time to time in the Uniontown area, and a couple of dive bars they frequented. They lived just like these folks, without the musical talent of course. A couple of them could play pretty pretty dang good though. I’d leave Tuscaloosa to come home and and hear them when they’d set up, which really wasn’t that often, maybe 3 times a year, but that’s what made it even better is it was so rare. They’re all dead now and have been for at least 20 years. I don’t know how they made it into their 50’s much less their 70’s.
"I didnt mean to kill nobody, I just meant to shoot him once in the head and two times in the chest. Him dying was between he and the Lord." Legendary bluesman R.L. Burnside
The ESPN 30 for 30 “Once Brothers” is excellent. Really about Vlade Divac and Drazen Petrovic and their relationship in the NBA when Yugoslavia split. Divac is the narrator and really griping stuff when he goes into Croatia as a Serb to visit Petrovic’s family. Petrovic died in a car crash right when he was on the cusp of greatness. Really good stuff about how good the Yugoslavian national team was and it features several NBA players as well. Interesting to see the ethnic divide in play in professional sports (they were not allowed to speak to each other during games).
