Paleo in your Netflix

updated 2012-3-3

Here is a list of Paleo-related films and documentaries you can find for rental through Netflix.

Ironically, this list has arisen from the fact that I watch less and less on a screen. I cut out almost all television a while back, deciding to watch only films. Netflix was a pretty good compromise because, while I enjoy going to the movies but not sitting in front of the TV, almost all the films I want to see are from 30+ years ago.

More recently, I've been frustrated with the amount of time films take out of a day. So I thought, hey, I'll only watch Paleo- and healthcare- related films!

Well, that didn't work out so well for me, but it did give rise to a bunch of stuff in my Netflix queue that I now need to cull out in the process of watching what I really want and then ending my Netflix membership.

You should be able to click on a link, which will take you to a film in Netflix, which you can then add your own queue, but note that you have to be signed in to Netflix for the link to work (sorry).

Also, I have included some links to movies on Amazon that they don't have at Netflix.

Now, without further adieu, the Paleofy-your-Netflix list...

hunting

Capstick: Hunting the African Elephant - 2004 - Peter Hathaway Capstick is a throwback to an earlier, more adventurous era when big game hunters were, pardon the pun, "lionized" by such writers as Ernest Hemingway. In Hunting the African Elephant, Capstick (who, as a government officer in Africa, shot over 800 elephants) goes after perhaps the ultimate hunting trophy -- a bull elephant. This safari is one of a kind and will have you mesmerized.
