Same. I think those documentaries shaped an entire generation of biologists and nature lovers.
I started studying biology in 2020 with online lessons and stuff. Our professor in Metazoan Morphology and Evolution decided to show a clip in one of his lectures, and as soon as the first word was spoken, the entire zoom chat was just:
“David Attenborough!!! 
”
The professor was quite confused. :D
I recently watched Planet Dinosaur, and although it is CGI
(obviously, how else would you make a dinosaur documentary), it was pretty awesome (especially episode 2!) 
Planet Dinosaur is a big favorite around our house as well. Not only is it beautifully rendered, there’s something deeply satisfying about hearing the late (and much missed) John Hurt talking about the thagomizer.
The Ballad of Big Al is another classic.
Also a favorite. D is most definitely an allosaurid partisan. (Tyrannosaurids get all the press, and in his words, “I like to root for the underdog.”)
Anything with David Attenbroug. That guy is INSANE!
My Garden of a Thousand Bees is excellent!
Went to see the mothing documentary Nocturnes with some moth-er friends last night in San Francisco. There’s some pretty amazing moth footage, and it’s beautifully shot, but too slow for me and I wanted more details and more of a narrative. Anyone else see it?
“Ireland’s Wild Coast” and other films by Colin Stafford-Johnson
Some of my favourites are…
Our Planet (Netflix,YouTube)
Dancing with the Birds (Netflix)
Island of the Sea Wolves (Netflix)
Animal (Netflix)
Our Planet 2 (Netflix)
Wings of Life (Disney+)
Penguin Town (Netflix)
Crimson Wings (Disney+)
Penguins (Disney+)
I do not remember the title but maybe one of you can help me: I remember watching a documentary in which a scene depicts an Australian python (of the genus Aspidites I think) killing a prey in its burrow by pressuring it against the walls.
I thought that it was in David Attenborough’s “life in cold blood“ but apparently not…
Does anyone know in which documentary it could be?
Life in Color by David Attenborough on Netflix is one of my favorites!
i personally like The Riot and the Dance, though this is from a creation standpoint rather than evolution, and you can tell it was made by Christians, so it may not be everyone’s favourite. its pretty cool though :)
Ooh, I like that one! Although it is a bit prejudiced against elephant seals.

Everyone should watch this. It’s on regenerative agriculture.
Hometown Habitat (stories of bringing nature home)
https://themeadowproject.com/hometown-habitat/
Nature’s Best Hope by Doug Tallamy (another must watch!)

When you started watching this and got to the part showing where this guy lives, did not at least a part of you go, “OMG, imagine living THERE?”
Oh man, that was beautiful. I can’t bear to look out my frosted window right now, but that was beautiful.
Thanks so much.
