It's almost summer time, and that means a lot more free time to do activities that you actually want to do. (Translation: You're about to have a lot more time for Netflix. If you're anything like me, you binge watch Netflix so often that you sometimes find yourself in a rut.) You've finished all your shows, seen the like 15 good movies on Netflix, and now want something new. Luckily, I have compiled a list of the 10 best documentaries on Netflix right now.

1. "Advanced Style" (2014)

This film chronicles the lives of seven fabulous elderly women living in New York City, their unique personal style, and the way in which they elect to live life to the fullest by dressing exactly the way they want to. These women truly prove the old adage that you're only as old as you feel. It's heartwarming, charming, and a nice feel-good film.

2. "Into the Abyss" (2011)

This film, directed by documentary master Werner Herzog, gives a chilling, invasive look into the lives of two men convicted of a triple homicide. With intense interviews and a thick, suspenseful plot, this documentary masterfully navigates the subject of the death penalty, and causes viewers to truly wonder about the value of a life.

3. "The Queen of Versailles" (2012)

At face value, this film serves as an account of the Siegel family's quest to build the most expensive single-family home in America. The family is tacky, obnoxious, and reckless with their cash, and if that alone doesn't draw you in, the documentary also has an intense undercurrent of the impact of the Great Recession, which provides super intriguing context to its madness.

4. "The Imposter" (2012)

Quite frankly, this film is hard to explain. It chronicles the impossibly true story of a Frenchman who claims to be a 16-year-old boy from Texas that went missing three years prior. What happens next, you have to see to believe. Although it is a true story, it moves quickly and is full of enough twists and turns to rival the best suspense flick.

5. "Bill Cunningham New York" (2010)

If you've ever wanted a peak into the life of an eccentric, awkward fashion photographer for the New York Times, look no further. Richard Press' film explores Cunningham's life, his role in the fashion industry, and the ever-changing, influential trends in NYC. In the city that never sleeps, fashion is perhaps the most active, and Cunningham is there to capture it all.

6. "Crazy Love" (2007)

I'll go ahead and let you know right off the bat that this documentary is not for the faint of heart. It's jarring, intense, and unsettling. The film explores the tumultuous, toxic relationship between New York attorney Burt Pugach and his girlfriend Linda Riss. The couple's numerous conflicts climax in an event that changes both of their lives forever. This one is a much watch, just maybe not when you're alone.

7. "Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father" (2008)

A word about this film, do not watch it unless you are comfortable with doing lots and lots of crying. Although it's hard to talk about without revealing too many crucial plot details, the doc involves the unstable relationship between Andrew Bagby and an unstable woman named Shirley Turner. The film's ending will leave you crying on the floor for a few hours, but it is so worth it.

8. "Blackfish" (2013)

Let's be real, this movie is everywhere. If you haven't seen it, you've read a thinkpiece on it, or heard friends argue over it. Whether you believe that Seaworld is the root of all evil or not (spoiler alert: it is), this film provides a devastating look at orcas in captivity that everyone needs to see. The doc shows interviews from past Seaworld workers, focusing mainly on Tilikum, the orca responsible for the deaths of three people. Take from it what you will, but this film looks animal cruelty straight in the face and doesn't relent.

9. "The House I Live In" (2012)

This film tackles the topic of America's "War on Drugs" and the resulting mass incarceration better than any that I have ever seen. Director Eugene Jarecki travels across America, interviewing individuals and families on both sides of the law to examine the societal implications of drug offenses, unjust legal proceedings, and incarceration. The historical and socioeconomic background on drug trade also provided by the film brings the content together into one utterly powerful look at America's drug culture and its impact on marginalized people.

10. "The Thin Blue Line" (1988)

There's no way I could compile a list of noteworthy documentaries without including this classic true crime doc. This film was so impactful around the time of its release that it literally got an innocent man out of jail. Randall Adams was sentenced to life in prison for murdering a Dallas police officer during a traffic stop. Through recreations and new interviews, director Errol Morris proves his innocence in a truly engaging, thrilling, and awe-inspiring way.

Well, there you have it. I hope I have given you some viable options to turn to when you have run out of things to binge-watch on dear old Netflix. Happy viewing!
