There isn't a lot of new information in this doc, but still worth the watch for the amazing footage. I am so jealous of those shark interactions. Absolutely breathtaking!
I couldn’t stop laughing at the results of the challenge and the twist thereafter. The producers are fools for that one. So funny!
One more for this year:

PS, it doesn't look like the two I suggested last year were added. Just saying. =)
Thanks again! Love this list!
I was feeling about to give up on season two. The stories weren’t terrible but they were mostly human. They’ve been primarily based on things that could happen. Not a ton of supernatural fun to be found. Then this episode popped up. So much fun! This is exactly what I was hoping for from Tales From The Crypt. Not too mention, it was hilarious. “I’m making an asshole casserole!”
Decent episode. I haven’t been loving season two thus far, but Patricia Arquette = :fire::star_struck:
I really don’t like how the US version ends episodes on these unnecessary cliffhangers. They literally promo’d the recoupling for this episode. To cut it off at the recoupling is bullshit. The UK version never does that. It’s one of the things that made me love the original. They did it once early on in the season as well, but this one felt so cheap. The announcer even commented on it. I hope they stop doing that. I won’t hold my breath though.
The production isn't great, but if this is a classic album for you, there is a lot in this doc that you will enjoy. There is some real fun insight into the making of some great songs. I immediately sought out and purchased the vinyl after watching. Took me right back to high school.
Here's a couple that I noticed weren't on the list:

Thanks again for the great work!
Love this list! Thanks for keeping it updated. I love hitting random on here and watching dumb holiday movies in December. Thanks again!
This is a good little Horror flick. There isn't anything too original, but it's executed well. It has a good tone, and even though the story is familiar, it brought me in and I genuinely wanted to know what happened next. All said, it was pretty easy to predict where things were going, nevertheless it was a fun watch.
I went into this thinking "not another chess movie", but it won me over completely. I'm a bit bias, because I love films about Maori culture, but even excluding that, this film shouldn't be written off as just another underdog chess movie. It was the backdrop to this story of family and community. I loved it! Cliff Curtis was great and it was a pleasure seeing James Rolleston all grown up from his role in Boy. I really liked this movie!
This movie is obviously terrible, but it is so enjoyable that I have to rate it high.
Coco needs to be added here. Thank you for building this list!
The commentary on the blu ray was very cool! Lots of interesting anecdotes.
I just caught this randomly on Amazon Prime. I'm familiar with Taika's recent work, but had missed this one. It's a gem!! I loved this movie. Funny, sweet and an all-around good time.
Schmaltzy, but good family fun.
It's well made, but I've been spoiled by the gorgeous work that BBC Earth is doing now. It was a little hard to fully invest with the huge drop in video quality. That said, it still has some style and the information doesn't seem to be too dated. It's an interesting watch as a huge BBC Earth fan.
I thought this movie was really fun. I like shark movies, but they are all very similar. I thought this one differentiated itself enough from the pack to recommend this to anyone that's interested.
I love this short. It feels like something that shouldn't even exist. Good nostalgia fun!
I wanted to care about this movie. The story is obviously one that should be told, and it certainly felt deeply personal to the narrator. However, I could barely keep an eye open. It was very sleepy and felt very much like homework. I felt guilty being so bored by such a tragic series of events, but it is what it is. I definitely wouldn't mind learning more about this setting though.
This was entertaining. It failed a bit for me in attempting to be a realistic portrayal of what went on in this time period, when the interactions between characters constantly felt like they were out of a Lifetime movie. That said, the story and pacing were good enough to keep me interested throughout. A decent watch if it's readily available. I wouldn't go out of my way for this one.
While the subject matter is interesting, the production value reminds me of something I would have watched in a middle school class. It's a little tough to get past. Especially with all the great quality documentaries we have these days.
I LOVED this movie! I was lukewarm through the first half, but by the end I was completely sold. I can't recall another movie I've seen like it. It walked the line, rather brilliantly, between being extremely dark, and almost lighthearted and whimsical. It toys with you. One moment you're laughing at some punchline, the next you're repulsed. A few minutes later you may be laughing at a gag relating to the very thing you were repulsed by minutes ago! This movie is a trip and understandably polarizing. I can certainly see why it's not for everyone, but it totally worked for me. It's a unique film that I would absolutely recommend to anyone that is looking for something fresh.
I didn't know much about the topic going in, and I don't feel like I know much more after. I would have preferred a combination of testimony with some scientific research. Aside from that, the testimony wasn't all that interesting. This can be skipped.
Quite beautiful! I was very impressed by the visual element of this short. The story was fine but I kept catching myself focused on how great it looked. That alone is worth a watch of this 14-minute short.
The premise is so cool, but unfortunately the execution was a bit lacking. I wanted to like this movie so much! I found the human storyline boring. The dog storyline was far more interesting, but they didn't spend enough time with it. It's worth a watch for the originality and cool premise, but I would recommend keeping your expectations low to avoid disappointment.
