Forget the movies, forget the TV shows (with very few exceptions).

Read philosophy and psychology. The great feats of literature in the history of humanity. You have the entire knowledge-base of humanity at your fingertips.

'The Hunt' is a great series on predators, narrated by David Attenborough.

It shows how high the failure rate is for hunters, and how vital perseverance is to their survival.

I thought there were plenty of metaphors applicable to gaming and girls as well.

Century of the Self. It's one of those documentaries that actually help you understand the modern world a little better.

The Century of the Self

It's from BBC and explains societal conditioning, the rebranding of propaganda to public relations, training people towards consumerism, etc. It's available online and is broken up into four parts that are about 60 minutes each.

I liked Born Free. And most anything by Ken Burns.

George Nierenberg’s documentaries on gospel, soul and tap dance. “Say Amen, Somebody.” “No Maps on My Taps.”
