#42Curious Worlds: The Art & Imagination of David Beck. The artist made some incredible automata and kinetic sculptures and it's a documentary that I've watched again and again to get ideas for my own works.

I absolutely loved the Last Dance but I really like basketball. I wouldn’t recommend it to non-fans of basketball though (basing this off a small sample size of friends).

#47thunder run on baghdad.
It a documentary on iraq war seen from the eyes of bhagdadis, both military and common folk. This war was extensively covered in media but I've never seen it from the eyes of people who were on the other side.
After all this time, i realize how racist and cruel this war was and such contrast to how we viewed people of ukraine. Helped me reflect on my own racist attitudes.

If you like something, recommending it is fine. Let the people decide if it’s a topic they’re interested in it or not.

#50I haven’t checked the previous links but just going off the top of my head: - Jiro Dreams of Sushi, I watch it every now and then to inspire me about my craft. I want to go to Japan to try his food in the future. - Icarus, I suggest you go into this blind without knowing what it’s about. - The Barkley Marathons, this sort of got me into running. Edit: I just went into the older discussions about how there’s a dark si…
