Bad Reputation — This was a great tribute to the life and work of (in my opinion) a totally underrated rock goddess. I loved how it was clear from this how much Joan Jett loves to play music. Bottom line: It was never about fame, money, sex. It was about the music. I’d love to interview her.

Three Identical Strangers — Critics Consensus: “Surreal and surprising, Three Identical Strangers effectively questions the nature of reality and identity.”

The Heart of Nuba — From a previous email: “Recently, a documentary called Heart of Nuba, was released featuring Tom and his team in the Nuba mountains. My wife and I watched this documentary with our daughter, Olivia (10), last week, and although it was hard for Olivia to watch some parts of this, I felt it was an important example of showing the real power of medicine (versus the relatively easy stuff her parents do) and true sacrifice. I can’t encourage you all enough to do the same.”

(In an upcoming AMA I discuss my personal experience with Theranos, and how I almost ended up working there in 2006, which made watching this doc even more mind-boggling.)

Icarus — Here’s the “Critics Consensus” from Rotten Tomatoes: “Icarus is eye-opening viewing for professional sports enthusiasts, yet it should also prove thoroughly gripping even for filmgoers who might not necessarily be drawn to the subject.”

In Search of Greatness — They had me at Gretzky, but this doc also features in-depth original interviews with Jerry Rice and Pelé. Other performers such as Serena Williams, Muhammad Ali, David Bowie, and Michael Jordan, are explored. It gets into coaching, creativity, specialization vs. generalization, psychology, and philosophy.
