Moog. It's about Robert Moog and the Moog synthesizer. It features several musicians including Bernie Worrell and Rick Wakeman.
Score: 2
Senna. Best movie/doc of the year hands down.Musical doc: The Secret to a Happy Ending. Fascinating story of the Drive-By Truckers at the most tumultuous period in the bands history. Loads of good musical footage as well.
Score: 0

Score: 1
Comedies: Cashback, Mary and Max, SLC Punk, and if you like British comedy, A Bit of Fry and Laurie.Documentaries: The Gits (highly highly recommend this), Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why is Everybody Talking About Him), We Jam Econo (again, highly highly recommended), You're Gonna Miss Me (another fantastic, highly recommended film). All of these are music documentaries.

For documentaries, if you haven't seen It Might Get Loud, definitely check it out.For comedy, check out Trailer Park Boys. It's a Canadian series. Hilarious. Especially the episode where they kidnap Alex Lifeson.
Score: 7
The Great Escape. Great WWII movie about escaping a prison camp.
Score: 1

Especially the episode where they kidnap Alex Lifeson.I just finished watching the entire series, friggin' hilarious. I'm pretty sure all of the episodes are available for streaming. They have a couple movies too but I think the series is funnier.

My two favorite documentaries are The Parking Lot Movie and I Like Killing Flies. They both follow extraordinary people who perform seemingly mundane jobs but who excell at conversation, creativity, and handling the ups and downs of intellectual existence in an "ordinary" life. And if you're looking for a series, check out Peep Show. It's hilarious and not as pornographic as it sounds...Bacon.

Also, in the documentary category, check out Festival Express. Incredible - INCREDIBLE, I SAY - footage of The Dead, Janis, The Band, etc. just jamming their way across Canada on a train filled with alcohol (and God knows what else). Must've been the party to end all parties.

Other recommendations: If you liked Arrested Development, The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret
Have you watched Breaking Bad? It's a pretty good series.

I must agree with Cracking the Maya Code....great doc. My favorite doc that I have watched in a long time is a 5 part series called The Pyramid Code. When We Left Earth is a great doc about the early days of the space program. If you like stand up comedy and want to laugh your ass off from beginning to end watch Louie CK: Chewed Up.
Score: 1

Documentary: "I Think We're Alone Now"It's one of the weirdest documentaries I've ever seen. It's about these people that stalk the former teen icon Tiffany. In no way is this documentary life-changing, but you will be horrified and astounded for 70 minutes.
Score: 2
Are you talking streaming only? If not, I highly suggest the PBS documentary, "The History Of New York." Hands down the most fascinating doc I've ever seen... And it's 10 discs! The first two DVD episodes are my favorite- you really get a feel for how quickly the city grew.
Score: 1
Hobo with a shotgun
