What's your favorite documentary

Sometimes I get tired of the regular trash that comes out,so I always look for a good documentary to watch.I find it amazing,the dedication of the filmmakers to be able to finish telling some of these stories that sometimes take years to film.Hoop Dreams is a perfect example,and probably my favorite.
 
Anything Adam Curtis does is always good.

The Trap
The Power of Nightmares
The Century of the Self
Pandoras Box
. . . etc

The top two being the best of the lot in my opinion.

Others:

No Direction Home: Bob Dylan
Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room
The Corporation
Grizzly Man
Jesus Camp
One Day in September
The Fog of War

I love nature programmes so anything with David Attenborough is usually excellent hes done programmes like :

The Blue Planet

Planet Earth

Natures Great Event

Too name a few , so if you see anything with his name in it , its worth a watch :)
 
Planet Earth is a stunning documentary. Encyclopedia Galactica is also very good. Discovery Channel aired it some years ago and my brother recorded all episodes wich we recently watched.
