"Netflix vs. The World" was an interesting documentary on the story of the rise of Netflix and the eventual demise of Blockbuster and how that all transpired.
Ironically, I dont think its on Netflix, but I havent looked so I cant say.
I just thought it was really interesting watching the creation and evolution of Netflix from something that started in the Conference room of an Airport Best Western to what it is now and the thought processes of the people involved along the way.
Also seeing the interviews with the Blockbuster side of things was intriguing, there were some people who saw the writing on the wall and had some ideas that really could have worked to save Blockbuster because at the time they had a lot of advantages and resources that, if appropriately focused, could have changed the landscape entirely but it really ended up as the Giant Beast that goes extinct amidst an evolving environment.
Check it out.
