The Cave of Forgotten Dreams - directed by Werner Herzog - takes you inside the Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc Cave in southern France to view the amazing cave paintings. There is plenty of narrative, several interviews and some explanation/context - but the magic is in the truly stunning images, so powerful that the context and explanation are not really needed.

After seeing this in 3D it is hard to imagine watching it in 2D - the paintings are so integrated with the shapes of the cave that the 3D is crucial to experiencing them - it is definitely worth the effort to find a way to see this in 3D.
