Oh my mistake. There's no option on this one for English subs, my search continues

The Daughter of Dawn (1920) was added to Netflix Ireland and other regions.

Daughter of Dawn is an 83-minute long American silent film released in 1920. Between its production and restoration in 2012, it was shown only a few times — once in Los Angeles in 1920, and in Kansas City, Tulsa and a handful of other cities.

On December 18, 2013, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant"

Watched a very good documentary there called Cowspiracy - the sustainability secret, produced by Leonardo Dicaprio. Its about the effect of climate change and the impact livestock is having on our environment. It's quite disturbing with some shocking facts and figures. But it's a brilliant watch and can't fail to make all us meat eaters really consider what we are doing

I always knew that Island of Dr. Moreau had a troubled production but didn't realise to the extent that it was so out of control. Fair play to the original director for taking part in the doc as often such people don't like to revisit failed productions. (though I guess you could say he was a unique fella).

Brilliant documentary, thanks to whoever recommended it.

I think poor Richard Stanley just wasn't made to be a big time commercial film director, he's a guy made for small time no budget horror films . He clearly wasn't up for the job from the get go , although to be fair his sketches and brilliant art work shows a guy who has strange and wonderful mind. But he was screwed from the get go as the producers clearly didn't want him anywhere there.

Val Kilmer clearly doesn't come out of this looking good, he's a big headed bully who's downfall thanks to this film is a piece of karma (although he was excellent in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang). Marlon Brando, who was a pain in the ass (Yes he was once the greatest actor living but even years before DR Moreau his behaviour was always sketchy and I still don't understand why take a risk on him) at least showed respect to his fellow actors but he was just as big a pain in the ass. Even John Frankenheimer comes out of it not looking too good, but it's fair to say his line about Val Kilmer was a thing of beauty.

Loved Marco Hofschneider (the young German lad from the excellent Europa Europa) who probably has the best stories to tell especially watching his once big part been cut cause Marlon Brando took a shine to the dwarf Nelson de le Rosa, who then gets the biggest ego on the picture and punches Hofschneider in the family jewels.

Would have been nice to hear from Ron Pearlman or David Thewlis who you can see in the on set footage. But aside from that a great documentary plus it must have been fun been behind the scenes with the supporting actors just partying and smoking pot all day and getting paid for it :pac:

Vanishing of the bees. Really good documentary about how the honey bees all over the world are dying and how important honey bees are. Typical humans just destroy everything that's good.
