Cold + Rain + Sunday afternoon= Netflix Documentary Marathon

Woke up to a rainy Sunday morning here in Southern California. Grabbed my laptop, curled up in bed and hit 'play' on my Netflix instant queue list. Todays movie marathon runs the gamut of fashion, art, journalism, music and interoirs:

EAMES: THE ARCHITECT AND THE PAINTER

This documentary tells the story of the husband-and-wife team of Charles and Ray Eames, widely considered America's most important designers

 

NEW YORK IN THE FIFTIES
It was a powerful time in New York City, as the bohemian movement unfolded and changed the beat of the city. The cast of characters interviewed for this fascinating documentary (based on writer Dan Wakefield's memoirs) reads like a "Who's Who" of the decade

 CIAO! MANHATTAN

Originally only superficially a chronicle of Edie Sedgwick's days at Andy Warhol's Factory, Ciao! Manhattan has become one of the most insightful looks at New York's "Silver Sixties" period and the horrible fallout that followed

QUEEN: THE MAKING OF A NIGHT AT THE OPERA

With the release of "A Night at the Opera" in 1975, Queen catapulted into the rock 'n' roll mainstream and broke new ground with the wildly inventive single "Bohemian Rhapsody." This installment of Classic Albums series examines the creative process behind the landmark recording.

Movin' down a crowded avenue

Doing anything we like to do

There's always lots of things that we can see

You can be anyone we like to be

All those happy people we could meet

Just groovin' on a Sunday afternoon
