Belushi (HBO Max)
From FLAS's list -- bold are ones I've seen and enjoyed. I'll have to look sometime to see what else I can add, as I know I have more -- and I love documentaries.
Netflix:
Athlete A
The Keepers
How to Fix a Drug Scandal
The Last Dance
High Score
Wild Wild Country
Murder Mountain
Bikram
Icarus
The Dirt
The Mind,of Aaron Hernandez
GLOW
Voyeur
The Miami Showband Massacre
Studio 54
Ted Bundy Tapes
Legend of Cocaine Island
Jim & Andy The Great Beyond
-----------------------------
The only recommendation I have (or have ever given) is not a documentary. But it's up there with the best series I've ever seen on Netflix. Babylon Berlin. It's the only series I've gone back immediately to watch a second time, as there's so much to take in. Season 4 comes out this year!
Oh, I do have one documentary to add: The Staircase

2021 was a great year for music docs.
Summer of Love by Questlove is pure joy. Music and interviews that capture the place and time.
The Velvet Underground— a very different but interesting tale of music in the 60’s.
Get Back — only if you think the Beatles matter, but if you do . . . .

I watched a couple of episodes of Get Back. For me it got repetitive. It was just the some thing over and over again.
I put GLOW on the list. Thats a really good show starring Marc Maron and Allison Brie that unfortunately didnt get another season during pandemic.
There is an actual documentary about the gorgeous ladies of wrestling but that name escapes me.

Dr. Death on peacock was really good. Hard to fathom how much damage one bad actor could do.
Crumb is a documentary about Robert Crumb. A cartoonist that rose to fame in the underground hippie comic scene. It is really well done. It is extremely dark at every level of analysis. Highly recommend.
I've seen some of these. Tower Records was really good, I've seen that several times.
Andre the Giant will have anyone crying. So so sad.
Fyre Fraud(s) are interesting
The Keepers will change you. Be aware of that when you watch it. One of the most disturbing things to see.
GLOW with Marc Maron is good, but that's the fictional version. I think the actual doc is also called GLOW.
Ted Bundy tapes (if I'm thinking of the right one) were tough to sit through.
There are some others to add to the list too:
Atari: Game Over
The Commodore Story (over story is good, but the founder's kid mugs for the camera and makes it more about the Holocaust than needed).
Hearts of Darkness (the making of Apocalypse Now)
Citizen 4
The Interrupters
Paradise Lost
Paradise Lost 2: Revelations
Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory
West of Memphis
The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez (also like The Keepers, you won't be the same after seeing this one)
I know his cousin, lives not too far from me. We go get beers once in a while.

Pretty sure Ive seen the Keepers.
yes, the Atari one
i didnt know about the commodore doc
dont think ive seen the rest Of those, i’ll look into them
Any good stories to share? I'd be curious what his take on his cousin is.
We didn't dig too far into it when he brought it up, but we're meeting up on Friday, so I'll ask him.
