movies/tv What sort of documentaries do you enjoy?

[FatalRain 108]

I tend to enjoy just about any kind

From history to supernatural to biographical and even science 

There's something I really like about learning while watching things

I sort of suspect the scenes, even if they're only acted out, that make the information easier for me to obtain

 

If you don't like documentaries, why not?

What kinds have you tried watching?

[Moonlight 7,289]

I don't really watch documentaries much but I do plan on eventually getting into them. When I do watch them, it usually has to do with the supernatural or something scientific-related, namely how the brain works and such.I find them to be rather interesting.

[Moonlight Magician 494]

Any documentaries are fine to me, really. I tend to watch a lot more of history documentaries over the others. So i'd say history is my favorite.

[ReverseFaller 2,484]

I enjoy all kinds of documentaries. Some random documentaries I've seen

• Some documentary about what would happen if DC got nuked.
• Documentary about Russian Prisons.
• Various World War 2 Documentaries (What if Hitler won, WW2 from space, ect.)

[NightOwl 912]

My favourite type of documentaries would be...

 

1. Astronomy 
2. Military
3. Paranormal

I also like History ones too .

[Concerto Dusk 240]

military, especially world war two, or post apocalypse 

[lomk 20,665]

I love to learn. I love all kinds of documentaries. The other day I actually watched a really interesting documentary on the coelacanth and how the fish everyone though had gone extinct made a sudden reappearance and how it had remained virtually unchanged for millions of years. Cool stuff

[Khaoios 1,970]

I am obsessed with Documentaries.  Most documentaries i watch are:

 

Science (Astronomy)

History (Ancient Archeological History, as well as US history and European history)

Military (I love to watch certain war histories, b/c I'm always curious on who started it as well as the number of conspiracies).

[SFyr 1,982]

As for myself, primarily historic, or possibly natural world/animal documentaries.

Though, honestly I enjoy a vast variety of topics.

I remember watching quite a few of whatever I could find while also playing Minecraft on the other half of the screen--having both together was an awesome way to spend down time.

My favorites are:

• Blackfish
• TPB AFK
• Deadliest Catch
• Religulous 

[Midnight and Shira 123]

History by far. I especially lean toward famous inventors documentaries, as for some reason, inventors in history have always fascinated me.

[PinkiePieJr 122]

Well my fav o all was the brony doc of course. Other than that, I like the mystery kinds that really make u think abou what u already know, or what u don't know.

[Scootalove 10,689]

I mostly stick with the History Channel, Nat Geo, Discovery and so forth. It's documentaries involving science, gangs, wars, historical events etc.

[King Sejong 859]

   I watched the old National Geographic documentaries growing up, then came Discovery Channel, A&E Biography and TLC, I began to watch Robert Ballard's discovery the Titanic, German battleship Bismarck, investigation of the Lusitania, search for the warships of Midway and Guadalcanal, from there on now I am fond of documentaries, I always enjoyed history, anthropology, political science, military science and history, natural and environmental science, now I am watching Jered Diamond as he reports on the state of the globe.

 Supernatural documentaries are my absolute favorite 

I watched a few recently on The Amityville Horror that I found to be quite interesting

That is fascinating! I'm not sure what that is, but maybe I can find the documentary to learn about it too haha

That documentary is amazing! I watched it one night to fall asleep, ended up watching the whole thing haha

It was surprisingly easy to follow being as I hadn't seen much of the show prior too it

and it actually helped me understand why the show has such a big following ^^

[Discordian 6,017]

I'm not particularly picky about documentaries. I just hate when they repeat information I've heard a hundred times from other places. I watch them to learn new things. :'(

I sometimes like to watch documentaries on the same/similar subjects so I can sort of compare information

as well as remember it better haha

Similar subjects is one thing, but having the same info as another makes it lame if I don't learn anything from it.

Everybody has their preferences ^^

Those are both very fascinating 

I remember when I used to watch A Haunting and Cold Case Files on television all the time! I wonder why they don't really air those anymore ;m;
