Tired, Can't Sleep ..

I like watching documentaries - anyone have some favorites to suggest? That should help put me to sleep.

Day 18 coming to a close.

Any suggestions you have for me? I'm always looking for more to watch. Especially now with a lot more sober night.

Watching the Ralphie May standup special on Netflix and not liking it too much

Really enjoyed "Wheel of Time". It's Herzog.
also "Crazy Love" about the Pugaches.

nymets86,Thank you for the list, I just watched "All This Mayhem", Great Doco but so sad...drugs and alcohol, so much destruction,. Unbelievably bleak. Such a tragedy for everyone concerned, those boys with all their talent and skill, I hope life gets better for Tas and he stays clean. RIP Ben, Lynette and his Dad.

CitizenFour is playing on HBO right now. The Scientology doc is coming the Ned of March, so that should be great.

The Last One is an excellent doc about the AIDS quilt.
