best documentary i've seen was actually a whole series that ran on bravo called "first person". each one directed by erroll morris. never saw a bad episode. Great subject matter. women dating serial killers, pilots who crash land planes, illegal cryogenic markets. they're on netflix if you go that way.

I fourth it. My favorite movie of all time. Beales of Grey Gardens is fucking excellent, too.

How the fuck has no one mentioned Some Kind of Monster?

Gimme Shelter

When We Were Kings makes me tear up every time.

Faster is very good is you're into that sort of thing.

Planet Earth is the best I've seen.

Regularly watch Nova. Consistently excellent.
