An error has ocurred. Please try againThis is not to be confused with "My Favorite Movies" but is, rather, an attempt at a list of the best.
This is a short list as few people have ever done this job well.
In the case of classical composers on this list, I am thinking of the quality of their cinematic output and not their concert works. This is why Schostakovich is fairly low on the list.
Reviews
The Buddha (2010)
Gentle and Serene
This is a beautiful and poetic production covering who the Buddha was and why we should care. In particular, I love the tone of this documentary, which avoids the flash and quick pacing of so many productions and instead opts for the qualities that may be ascribed to the Buddha himself.
Destination Truth (2007)
Informative and Fun!
A romping travelogue full of fun facts, comedic turns and the occasional monster! And who doesn't love monsters?!
The fist two or three episodes are a little rough, with the intrepid host coming off a little more mean- spirited than he ever does again but after these initial tender attempts the show takes off just fine, finding its unique voice.
If anything, Destination Truth is a kind of hip Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom.
So do they ever find anything? Well, that would be telling. Lets just say that some things remain undiscovered simply because nobody seriously looked for them.
And you should look for this show. You'll enjoy it. And mysteriously, for all its cleverness and adventure, it is somehow very comforting.
