I forgot about that movie, I enjoyed it too. Of course I’ve been to that parking lot many times. 😉  
I like the Classic Albums documentaries, I most recently watched The Doors and Elvis Presley. Learned a good bit about the artists and behind the scenes creative process. There are others such as Metallica’s The Black Album, Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors, etc.

Thanks everyone for these great suggestions! My main fodder for streaming on the Netflix is documentaries. One of the series I discovered is _Life After People._ It’s fascinating. There are several episodes. I also like the Universe documentaries, but I can’t think of any names right now.
