2. The World Before Her
This award-winning documentary opens in Bombay, where 20 girls are attending a month-long beauty boot camp in hopes of winning the prestigious title of Miss India. At this bootcamp, we meet Ruhi, a small town girl who believes that winning Miss India will help her voice be heard in a male dominated society, and ultimately provide her with a path to make meaningful change in India. Filmmaker Nisha Pahuja then travels to another corner of India where we meet Prachi, a young Hindu nationalist who has already fought on the front lines of the fundamentalist movement. She openly declares that she is ready to die to protect the culture and history of India from Westernization. The World Before Her follows the lives of these two passionate, yet opposing, young women as they try to create their own versions of a better India. Watch the full movie free online below:
3. Best Worst Movie
In 1989, a cast of unknown actors made what is considered to be the absolute worst movie of all time, Troll 2. It is one of the only movies to have scored zero on Rotten Tomatoes, and at the time of its release was panned universally by critics and audiences alike. Now 20 years later, Troll 2 has gained a cult following that has forced the stars to come to terms with being known for their ineptitude as actors. As the child star of Troll 2, Best Worst Movie‘s producer and director Michael Paul Stephenson creates an intoxicatingly fun tribute to the single greatest worst movie ever made and the people responsible for unleashing it on the world.

5. Woody Allen : A Documentary
For the first time in his over four decade long career, the iconic writer, director, comedian, and actor allowed cameras into his notoriously private life for a year and a half to create a paramount film biography. Emmy-winning, Oscar-nominated director Robert Weide begins with Allen’s childhood and his first gigs as a teen – furnishing jokes for comics and publicists – and traces his successful trajectory up to present day. Pulling from archived footage of some of his most infamous films, as well as conducting interviews with the gaggle of stars that have worked with Allen, this two-part documentary (Part 1 and Part 2) is the ultimate tribute to the career of Woody Allen.
