In terms of pure wonder, the Planet-Earth documentaries of yesteryear can definitely compete with today's HD beauties. See Cousteau's 1964 World Without Sun, the captain's rhapsodic follow-up to the famed Silent World. It's just one of the Oscar-lauded documentaries being lassoed into this adventurous series. To name but a few musts, there's Sentinels of Silence, an Orson Welles-narrated short about the Mayans; The Sky Above, The Mud Below, a write-home-about trip to New Guinea; and the self-explanatory Man Who Skied Down Everest. The phenomenal ecology of the Serengeti, redwoods, and monarch butterflies also receive arresting portraits.
