What was the last documentary you watched?


Every now and then I watch one that catches my interest. Most recently it was "The Old Man and the Sea: Return to Cuba."

"Dominick Dunne: After The Party" I really enjoyed this. He's a great storyteller and KNOWS Hollywood cold. He was a great writer over at Vanity Fair and covered the OJ, Menendez Brothers, and Phil Spector trials. But from the time he was a young adult he was around celebrities, observing them and entertaining them. Recommended!

I think it was just called “Salinger”. It was about jd salinger and how he went to WW2 and came back all crazy and then wrote like a badass. It was interesting.

I don’t know if it would be classified as a documentary but I watched, Martin Scorsese- A Personal Journey Through American Movies. It’s excellent.
