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

The Weeping Camel is a great, great movie. I get IFC and The Documentary Channel, so I see a lot of movies of that sort. The ending of that movie really blew me away...I didn't realize they were being literal. Very touching and more important, very real. The little kid is utterly charming.

Others I have seen recently that I liked a lot (some are movies I've seen many times).

New York Doll: The story of Arthur Kane, bass player of the New York Dolls, who disappeared into obscurity, then reappeared just as they reformed for one last hurrah...then tragically died of undiagnosed leukemia. Really well done and moving.

You See Me Laughin': A doc about Fat Possum records and their very weird, very talented, and very authentic artists, particularly R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough, both of whom died recently. You WILL be in the Delta watching this one.

Control Room: Al Jazeera's startup and early coverage of Iraq, when U.S. troops were targeting their reporters.

Fires on the Plain: A really grueling Japanese movie about starved troops on a meaningless island trying to avoid the Americans and find something to eat. Some of them do. Each other. A much better film than it sounds. Probably hard to find now, though. It's from the 1950s. It will make you appreciate each meal for the following two or three weeks.
