Are there any good documentaries on the life and works of Albert Einstein? Any thing on Richard Feynman, or other great figures of science?

Thanks for any recommendations.

I just saw this documentary called Streaming – Madness two weekends ago and was floored by the enormity of his effort to prove his theory of relativity. Decades worth of work and he gambled everything on his theory and won. Mind blowing to say the least.

Here are some YouTube videos with either Richard P. Feynman in them or they are about him. He was a pretty interesting guy.

Feynman was great. I haven’t seen any documentaries but have read his book and listened to some of his lectures on audio books.

Feynman documentaries: ‘The Pleasure of Finding Things Out’ (1981), ‘Fun to Imagine’ (1983), ‘The Quest for Tannu Tuva’ (aka ‘Last Journey of a Genius’) (1987), ‘No Ordinary Genius’. Parts One and Two (aka ‘The Best Mind Since Einstein’) (1992) – all made for BBC TV and PBS

What better ways to learn about Einstein and Feynman than to read some of their famous works? The Feynman Lectures on Physics and QED are great, as well as Relativity: The Special and the General Theory by Einstein.
