The one on Clarrett, too. I didn't even know he was out of jail.

I just saw netflix loaded a bunch of 30/30's.
They have one on the forming of the Big East that was just great.
Anyone that remembers Big Monday will love it. Patrick Ewing was my 1st favorite college basketball player, and G-town was my team.
College hoops will never be the same, Sleepy Floyd was a SR, & they lost to a UNC team w/Jordan, Worthy and Sam Perkins, in the finals.
Big East had 3 of the final 4 teams in 1985.

There is one on NC State/Jim Valvano, if you made a movie w/all those comebacks it wouldn't sell, no one would believe it.

and this recent one on BC, and the point shaving w/the gang from Goodfella's.
Henry Hill -"I didn't even know it was illegal"

The best one ever is "the two Escobars", remember when that happened, saying if SF was like Columbia, Roger Craig would be dead for fumbling away a NFC championship.

The Clash: New Year's Day '77

I AM
is an utterly engaging and entertaining non-fiction film that poses two practical and provocative questions: what’s wrong with our world, and what can we do to make it better? The filmmaker behind the inquiry is Tom Shadyac, one of Hollywood’s leading comedy practitioners and the creative force behind such blockbusters as “Ace Ventura,” “Liar Liar,” “The Nutty Professor,” and “Bruce Almighty.” However, in I AM, Shadyac steps in front of the camera to recount what happened to him after a cycling accident left him incapacitated, possibly for good. Though he ultimately recovered, he emerged with a new sense of purpose, determined to share his own awakening to his prior life of excess and greed, and to investigate how he as an individual, and we as a race, could improve the way we live and walk in the world.

wat? wat? definitely; looks like Richards and from what I've read he's just an average scumbag

Don't know if it was mentioned but I saw one about the first guy to get sponsored by Red Bull, think it was McCorsky or something. So fucking awesome.

Extreme mountain skiing, freestyle and just ridiculously crazy and dangerous stuff. Base jumping, those wing suit things. He basically started all of it. It is McConkey. On Netflix

Intersting, I've got a relative who took second or third at the Olympics in Russia.

McMorris is the name and he comes from the flatlands of Saskatchewan

Two great docs, the first is about 3 friends who are obsessed at becoming Master Sommeliers which there only 197 in the world. Very engaging

The second is somewhat sobering as the popularity of Sushi is threatening the demise of the Tuna stocks, which will ultimately affect other species below it in the food chain.

Didnt know this was a thing on youtube now

This is less expensive: http://vodly.to/watch-2740239-Somm

Somehow,
I clicked on this one an it was quite informative/entertaining.


For instance the owner of this estate/castle is Charles Spencer,
Lady Diana's older brother and the he's on his third marriage to
a lovely Canadian Karen Gordon. He's one randy bugger apparently.

The House has been held by the Spencer family for some 500 years.

They are also related and quite close to the Washington's(read George)
and they basically "put them up" when they were down on their luck.(thanks bud)

God Bless the Queen

Always loved Louis
