I love documentaries and the streaming services have so many, but Netflix has the best selection right now.  If you’re tired of watching movies, why not switch it up this weekend and check out a documentary or two.  Below are my Top 5 picks for you!  All of them are on Netflix right now. – Terri

 

MISS AMERICANA — This Taylor Swift biodoc is much more moving than I ever would have imagined, and breaks down the perfect pop star to a place of real humanity.

 

FYRE — A delicious look into Fyre Festival, one of the great scams of our time, and the aftermath. This one is unbelievable and so interesting at the same time.

HOMECOMING — Another musical biodoc that gives a slightly more broken down view of someone — Beyonce — who so embodies perfection it’s often hard to see her as a real person.

AMY — This documentary on the life and death of Amy Winehouse benefits from home video footage that was shared from her rise to fame. I really love her relationship with Tony Bennett in this, and how she didn’t really know how talented she really was.

 

SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN — Quest films are amazing, and there are few better than this hunt for a once great musician, Rodriguez, who was almost lost to history.
