Nice collection, especially those YouTube documentaries. Although we need more movies and stories being told of the future empowered by this technology. Too much of the dark side in mainstream Hollywood.

There's a Netflix doc called Cryptopia which is a decently unbiased look into Bitcoin, although it is a little dated and I feel like at times it hits on things that are unimportant (e.g. that crazy guy who claims to be Satoshi).
Gonna watch Cypherpunks Write Code that sounds like a good one.
And yeah I do agree that most Hollywood portrayals of Bitcoin frame it as "bad thing criminals use", although I like how it's portrayed in Mr Robot, where at the start of season 2 after the banking system collapses, everyone instantly starts using BTC and then you get the political war between BTC and CBDCs.
Hits very different rewatching it today.
As a side note, I wish there was an actual good movie about Silk Road. I know it fits into the cliche I just complained about, but if told accurately, it is actually a positive story for SR and Ross, one that shows the power of Bitcoin to enable free trade and the deep corruption of the US government. And SR is undoubtedly a vital part of Bitcoin history in any case.
