I’m a little late to the conversation, but here are some great ones beyond those you’ve already listed:

- Capturing the Friedmans
- American Movie
- The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara
- Spellbound
- The Thin Blue Line
- Grizzly Man
- Air Guitar Nation
- Jesus Camp
- Bowling for Columbine

Undeniably, of course, Hoop Dreams is the absolute best. Glad to see it here.

“World at War” (1973). Yes, it’s in 26 parts, on 11 discs, but it’s the best documentary ever. It took four years to make, and cost almost a million pounds. Watch it and see for yourself.

Jason,
I made up an extensive list the other day after going on a recent documentary binge:

People chimed in and added to it but those 15 I listed are must-see’s IMHO
