We don't have cable etc, so 99% of our tube watching time is library videos. I watch alot of travel videos, and they can be interesting or total duds.

I know there is a huge body of experience out there that can recommend high quality productions, most all far more proficent than I.

And someone mentioned "The Weeping Camel" (sic) recently which. to me, was a remarkable film, and JUST the sort of film I want to watch.

So I ask that the forum recommends some of their choices of material that is excellent and may very well be overlooked masterpices, as the weeping camel surely is, for my edification as well as others.

I'll Start:

1) The entire "Horatio Hornblower" series

2) "Bride and predjudice", Bollywood and so much fun

3) National Geo's "The Weeping Camel" (sic) utterly wonderful 4)Most "Lonely Planet" Travel videos

so you don't want regular movies? you're interested in documentaries and educational type things?

Yes - I mean the regular movies are covered already. I am interested in the gems that most are not (how can I say this) interested enough to view because, like my children, it sounds too dull (The Weeping Camel, for ex) yet are tremendously excellent and mind expanding.

I loved seeing the inside of a working Yert in Mongolia (with a eight foot TV dish outside)and how their daily lives revolved around the camels they depended on. The Bollywood "Bride and Predjuice" would have to bring a laff to all here, male and female alike (esp female), and yet I wager no one has seen it. And I can tell you generally what the next phrase is to be in regular movies - NOT THIS ONE.

I really am not asking for a formal catagory, but some responses from the members of really great, overlooked videos.

Just wanting to share the gems that we have stumbled across that no one else may find.

We get nearly all our movies from the library, I am that cheap!! (Pinging Indrid cold)

"First In Class" for a funny psudo-documentry. The sister video "Strictly Ballroom" is a Australian work is great. Christine and Zippy, you surely would like this one.
