I've recently started watching Neil deGrasse Tyson on Netflix and I've been really enjoying his lectures. Any recommendations out there for science-oriented documentaries/lectures that are available for streaming on Netflix? I'm especially interested in Physics, but I any subject would do.

there are multiple Nova programs on there. Stephen Hawking has several on there as well (Into the universe) . When looking for something I always use

I'm a big Das Boot fan, but how is it a science documentary?

Wow, thank you for that.

Here are some amusing Netflix documentaries; a lot are more sociology/psychology oriented - not sure about the quality of hard science depth on Netflix...

Cave of Forgotten Dreams
King Corn
Marwencal
Connected
The Imposter
Zeitgeist: The Movie
Helvetica

Technically off topic since not NetFlix, but still free: Ted Talks

Also The Khan Academy because sometimes you need to learn stuff before you can understand a good lecture.

Oh, and finally, The Feynman Lectures on Physics because it's Richard Feynman. (text version)

EDIT: URL syntax is hard =(

Thanks for all the suggestions. I ended up watching some Nova... Here's a gift code with three games attached to it, Screamer, MAX 1 & 2 and Conquest of the New World. Please post if you redeemed only one of the games (I think that's how it works?) so that others know what's left. Enjoy!

Wow, I can't believe that it was still here nine hours after you posted it. Thank you for Conquest of the New World!
