Industrial Revelations Mark Williams, you might know him as Mr. Weasley form Harry Potter hosted the first two seasons. Like the name implies, it's about different aspects of the Industrial Revolution. This is what I could find so far on the net. http://www.guba.com/watch/3000089558/More-Industrial-Revelations-Pen-and-Paper http://www.guba.com/watch/3000089598/More-Industrial-Revelations-Building-a-Revolution http://www.guba.com/watch/3000089602/More-Industrial-Revelations-Under-Pressure

heeebrew posted:Any recommendations for awesome travel documentaries or ones about far out civilizations that us dumb amerikans don't know about? How about The Long Way Round, Ewan McGregor and his buddy Charlie Boorman ride around the world on motorcycles. Unfortunately, it's pay only unless you  and I'm not going to advocate that here.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnudTnKEiY0

I love those BBC docs, just finished the three episodes of BBC Chemistry: A Volatile History, it's about the history of how chemistry went from being the art of alchemists to the compilation of the periodic table and nuclear science. I thought it was a good show. Ep1 1 part of 6 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZLnKqv94n0 Ep2 1 of 6 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogg5cyWxV-4 Ep3 1 of 6 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHL80A93lCA

Cyril Sneer posted:Any recommendations for good documentaries on the industrial revolution and/or the development of steam power? This has always been a fascinating era of history for me. Check out the Mark Williams series Industrial Revelations and More Industrial Revelations. http://www.guba.com/watch/3000089602/More-Industrial-Revelations-Under-Pressure http://www.guba.com/watch/3000089598/More-Industrial-Revelations-Building-a-Revolution http://www.guba.com/watch/3000089558/More-Industrial-Revelations-Pen-and-Paper That's all I could find that's not , but it shows what the rest of the series is like.

I haven't seen this mentioned yet. Restrepo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrepo_(film) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DjqR6OucBc Follows a platoon of the 503rd Infantry Regiment in the Korengal Valley, the name comes from an outpost named after a soldier from the platoon that was killed around the time the camp was made. During one engagement, one of the men performed like a serious BAMF and was later awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sal_Giunta

Butt Savage posted:I'm about 22 minutes into this and I had to stop just so I could get the courage to collect myself and grab a bite to eat. I'll be watching something while I eat, otherwise I'd feel guilty. I feel bad for all these kids, but Didi especially. I kept saying to myself "she's going to go mad in there." You could see it in her eyes how awful the situation has become for her. It's a terrible situation all around. Watch Revisited, things get much better for them.

Budget Bears posted:Can anyone recommend me some interesting and not-heartbreaking documentaries about the ocean, ocean life, etc? Preferably ones that are available online through something other than Netflix. I work in a nautical museum and we've been streaming ocean-related movies at the entrance, and I've already gone through all of the ocean documentaries on Netflix. BBC Life episode 4, fish. If you can get it in HD, the sailfish decimating the school of sardines and the slomo flying fish scene are amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fz6vkQ_hQg Ocean Odyssey, follows the life of male sperm whale.

BeigeJacket posted:You've probably seen it as you've mentioned the series, but the Classic Albums episode on Steely Dans Aja is pretty great for this sort of thing. There's no period footage or anything but rather contemporary (ie 90s) interviews with Fagan and Becket (two of the greatest studio-heads to ever record) as they go the LP track by track. The one on Dark Side Of the Moon's pretty good too.
