From time to time I do :) Don't get me wrong, I do prefer unrealistic, breath taking romantic movies or serious dramas that leave you "thinking"...but it is good to know what is happening in the real world, what are the new trends, opinions of artists, certain views on politics etc. First of all...you can learn something new ;)
I wanted to mention a few documentaries here, not in any particular order, not because all of them are amazing or only because they won some awards....For me it was just interesting to watch!
March of the Penguins won an Oscar in 2005 and I thought, what the hell.... Yes, penguins are very cute animals but what's the story with this one? One of the narrators in the movie is Morgan Freeman but actually, that does not make any difference, at least not to my attention. Some time ago I watched one of those BBC movies about nature with amazing pictures, such close shots of animals in their everyday life that it stunned me.
