Netflix it

I love documentaries. They make everyday-life interesting. And netflix makes a hard day or lazy weekend bearable.  If you're looking to enhance your amount of random knowledge and impress people when you actually feel like hanging out with them, I highly recommend the following:

the botany of desire (2009), 120 min., USA - Who knew apples had such a back story and that marijuana production has gotten so resourceful?

how to cook your life (2007), 94 min., USA; 100 min., Germany - A Californian man with a lot of ridiculous emotions (including crying over a tea pot) cooks his way to zen. When you cut the tomatoes, cut the tomatoes.

planet b-boy (2007), 95 min., USA - See Do-Knock before he made it to ABDC fame and get schooled on how Asians are totally ruling the b-boy arena.

rize (2005), 86 min., USA - Visually stunning. The epitome of what a documentary can be with big funding (at least, technically).
