WHY THE FUCK DO YOU STILL NOT HAVE GILMORE GIRLS ON INSTANTWATCH?

GET ON THAT SHIT.

  Man On Wire: I’ve seen this documentary more times than I can count and I never, ever get sick of it. Philippe Petit, a passionate, adorable Frenchman, had a tight rope walking hobby turned lifestyle. This film captures the emotional and physical aspects of Petit’s complicated goal of walking across a high wire set between the Twin Towers. It’s even more incredible to see this happen now that the Twin Towers no longer exist. Petit’s story is what we all want ours to be: passionate, full, endlessly exciting. Listening to Petit’s point of view as well as the friends who helped him make his dream come true is exhilarating and captivating.

  Dear Zachary: Everyone (EVERYONE) needs to see this tribute documentary. I don’t want to give anything away because, trust me, you’ll be shocked multiple times throughout the film. So I’ll just say that this is a gripping story of a man, his crazy girlfriend, their son and the family that loves him unconditionally. I literally have chills just thinking about it. Watch this film! And pay close attention.

  Bill Cunningham New York: The life of Bill Cunningham, famous fashion photographer in NYC, is fascinating. Cunningham is the sweetest old man who rides around on his bike (he’s 80!), snapping pictures of whatever catches his eye. His simple lifestyle is humbling to experience in the midst of all the pretentiousness that is the fashion world. 

  The Endless Summer: This is an adventure and friendship filled documentary. It takes you back to the 60’s, which is cool cause you probably weren’t alive in the 60’s, where a group of surfers travel to awesome places like Australia and Africa. All they do is eat, sleep, and surf for days. It’s like a dream world and seems too good to be true. This documentary inspires me to seek out the beauty in the everyday and to not take life so seriously.

  Each of these documentaries is available on Netflix instant watch!
