I've been working off this Buzzfeed quiz list for the last month or so:

I just watched Blackfish on Wednesday and it was visually spectacular (and fueled my distaste for Sea World)

I also saw "The woman who wasn't there" and "Dear Zachary" and was left shocked.  They were both recommended here on GBCN.

A Lion in the House - It's on PBS but I'm sure you can find it elsewhere. But you will need tissues, like four boxes.

(It's on amazon on-demand, so probably netflix too).

Rising from the Ashes - Netflix

It's about the first Rwandan national cycling team

[toepick]

I really enjoyed 20 Feet from Stardom, which is about backup singers of all things. It won the Oscar this year.

I also liked the Mitt Romney documentary, even though I wouldn't have voted for him if you paid me.

I liked Tiny about living in tiny houses. (120 sq ft...... Tiny!)

i just watched this and loved it. i didn't expect to feel warm fuzzies over it but i did! highly recommend it.

it also inspired me to get rid of more stuff and organize.
