Disney+ Recs?

So, I've signed up to Disney+, because Loki. And secondarily because I realised there were quite a few Disney movies that I didn't manage to see in the theatres that I'd quite like to see (such as Frozen II). Plus I also like Nat Geo.
But since I have it, I might as well use it while I have it, because I don't expect I will keep it for that long. So... do any of you have recs for stuff to watch?
Warning, though: I have no intention of watching WandaVision, because I gather it's in the form of a 50s sitcom similar to I Love Lucy, and I'm afraid that sitcoms hit my embarrassment squick really hard and it would be torment for me to watch it. So I won't be watching it.
But apart from that, any recs? Any particularly good Nat Geo documentaries? SFF series that aren't crap? Don't assume I've seen them already, I'm pretty bad at keeping up with stuff.

Date: 2021-06-09 03:43 am (UTC)Okay, so documentaries:
Howard is about Howard Ashman (wrote the lyrics to Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, and then died of AIDS). I found it rather fascinating.
On Pointe, as already mentioned, was interesting.
Under-appreciated superhero stuff:
Logan (Wolverine from the X-Men, but dark and gritty)
Unbreakable (one of the few Shyamalan movies I like)
Ant-Man / Ant-Man and the Wasp (silly fun, and has fun being silly fun)
Doctor Strange (magicky stuff – better than the reviews)
TV shows with crime and snark:
Burn Notice
White Collar
Lie to Me
Animated Disney:
Coco
Moana
Movies you should see at least once:
The Martian
Die Hard
The Full Monty
Jojo Rabbit
Master and Commander
Movies I love beyond all reason, regardless of whether they're good:
Ever After
Phone Booth
The Parent Trap
The Three Musketeers
National Treasure
