Ravenbomb:
What documentaries do you like? My exposure to them has been somewhat limited, but I've seen and really like:
The Five Obstructions (one of the best movies I've ever seen)
The Filth and the Fury
Super Size Me
some of the Michael Moore docs
I've been wanting to get into the Up series (7 Up, 14 Up, 28 Up, et cetera) but haven't gotten around to seeing any of them yet

soap:
capturing the friedmans [imdb] was pretty powerful thought provoking stuff.

dogtown & z-boys [imdb] even if you're not a big fan of skate boarding, watching the whole development of an alternative culture is quite interesting stuff.

the corporation [imdb] like a more intelligent and informative, less sensationalist counterpoint to some of micheal moores stuff, if you will.

fugazi: instrument [imdb]
metallica: some kind of monster [imdb]
two completely different worlds and styles (musically & cinematically) but both equally fascinating and entertaining incites into the lives of 'rock legends'

Ravenbomb:
some more good ones; Brother's Keeper and the Paradise Lost movies. BK is along the same lines as PL, but not nearly as infuriating

Mnementh:
The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara

Praeserpium Machinarum:
Forgotten Silver was pretty good though it is not a documentary per sé.
There is a really good danish documentary called Den Højeste Straf(Maximum Penalty).
It is about an ex-leader of the danish communist party who goes to Russia to find out what happened to a danish communist who disappeared under Soviet rule.
Doing that he uncovers the horrors under Stalin, he visits Gulag among other things. It is very good and somewhat depressing.
