Encounters at the end of the world

I grew up thinking that documentaries were just like those crappy CNN docs where they interview the family of somebody famous who died... BORING!! This doc really showed me that there can be creative direction in this medium. Shoutout to all those suicidal penguins - u so sexy aha

Hands on a Hard Body: The Documentary (1997) - Documentary/Drama

Rated - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ i literally could not care less about trucks - no offense - and i didn't even know what a hardbody was befor i watched this documentary (it's a pickup truck?). nonetheless, this movie made me feel like i understood something new about humanity - maybe something about human resilience or delirious determination. TLDR; it's a documentary about a competition in Texas where people try to win a pickup truck by being the last person with their hand on the truck. the competition lasted like 77 hours - wild. suffice to say, things get serious and people start crying. apparently quentin tarantino said this was his go-to movie recommendation at some point?

My favorite documentary, Hands on a Hardbody

Some documentaries are so good that they make you want to use all 246 synonyms for “wow” (according to this extensive Wiktionary list). This is one of them. In an hour and thirty-seven minutes (perfect runtime), a 1997 documentary about a bizarre Texas endurance feat will make you laugh, cry, take a shot, and have many epiphanies!
