A Night at the Nature Movies

In search of a good documentary, something that both teaches and entertains? I recently reviewed four that I consider well worth the time of anyone interested in plants, landscapes, nature, and ecology. 

1. See David Attenborough’s "A Life on Our Planet," a fast-paced tour through the ways the earth and its ecology have changed during Attenborough's 93 years on the planet. The message is clear-eyed and unsentimental. The movie-making is so good that I didn't even notice the time pass. Available on Netflix.
