Subject: RE: BS: 50 Documentaries to see before you die
I also object to the fact that there's nothing from before 1988.
Quality documentaries don't date.
The Times of London, among others, did the same sort of thing at the end of the last century. They listed the greatest goals ever scored in Association Football. Yhen they added, wtteo, we have started at 1970. As there'd been no great goals before then.
Way to kill our memory.
I'd add this doc. about the BBC, which i think quite fascinating on its subject.
