About the random 80s Documentary Movie Wheel

Stop scrolling and let the wheel choose your next 80s documentary movie. Each spin draws from the top 40 80s documentary movies released in the 1980s on TMDB, ranked by how many people have rated them, so you get titles worth watching instead of obscure filler. Hit Regenerate for a completely new set, raise the count to put up to 200 on the wheel, or switch to poster-only for a guessing game.
