51 Jaw-Dropping Netflix Documentaries to Watch Right Now

Many people might know of Robert Downey Jr., but not as many may know about filmmaker Robert Downey Sr. In this poignant black-and-white documentary (aptly named "Sr."), Downey Jr. takes off the Iron Man suit and pays homage to his late father with the help of director Chris Smith. The warm and intimate project simultaneously chronicles Downey Sr.'s underground moviemaking career while shining a light on his relationship with his family. He's best known for directing and writing "Putney Swope" as well as working on projects such as "The Twilight Zone" and "Boogie Nights." In 2021, he passed away at 85 after many years of living with Parkinson's disease.
