Seven Up

The original British version of this documentary series is great, but it's equally interesting to check out the States-side remake, especially if you happen to be 20-something today. It's at 21 Up as of 2006.

Being able to watch several people go through their entire lives is a unique opportunity.
Cons: Wasn't necessarily made to be watched one episode after another in quick succession: each episode includes lots of footage from the previous one, which can get annoying if you just watched it.

Amazing example of social research documentary.
Cons: If you watch them all in one weekend, you may end up feeling great waves of fatalism.

Take a weekend... watch all of them... you'll be glad you did.
