Top of the Lake!!!
They're currently making a second one, so now would be a good time to watch it. And also Angels in America (based on the play by Tony Kushner) |

Alright, I'm gonna check all of these out, starting with The Lost Room and Carlos. Thanks for the recs!
P.S. Do any of you remember all those mini series based off of Stephen King stories, like Rose Red, It, and The Stand?

I do remember them and they were garbage.

You got me. That's the only one I haven't seen.

Yeah, The Stand started off alright, but got pretty bad by the end. I feel like a lot of King's stories, and the adaptations of them, turn to shit real quick when it becomes clear that he isn't quite sure how to end them.

Well Band of Brothers is pretty much the greatest non film I've ever seen. It doesn't do it justice to call it the best mini series ever. It's just one of the best things ever. I watch it at least once a year. Top of the Lake as Chiomara said is also fantastic. Carl Sagan's Cosmos needs mention. The Neil DeGrasse Tyson one got annoying. Are we counting Planet Earth? We should. The first one is the best nature mini series ever filmed. Ken Burns had The War and The Civil War, both being very good.
I still haven't seen Carlos. |

I actually really liked Rose Red. Have you seen Storm of the Century?
