The Civil War tops them all. I finally finished watching the civil war documentary by ken burns. there were so many dvds to watch but i learned so much, more than any history book can tell.
Has anyone seen the baseball one by him?

I saw the Baseball one when they ran it on PBS back in 1994 or 1995. It was pretty entertaining and informative, although I remember reading that there were a number if inaccuracies.

I really liked "We Were Kings", which was about Ali and George Foreman.

But anyone who was at my house this weekend for the party and still there at 5AM got a special early morning viewing of GG Allin's "Hated."

A hilarious documentary about the planned community of Levittown, New York. O'Hagan conducts interviews with longtime and one time Levittown residents (like rock singer Eddie Money and Zippy the Pinhead cartoonist Bill Griffith), in an effort to explain how architects and developers took the idea of a suburban paradise to extremes. The community's elderly residents recall a time when beneath the bland surface of Levittown, its houses equipped with all mod cons, behaviors like wife swapping were commonplace. One mid-life Levittown "survivor" spends most of his days on a shrink's couch, as he attempts to unravel the mystery of life after Levittown. It's well-crafted, poignant poke at suburban planning and how ironically, it was meant to make life a little easier. ~ Denise Sullivan, All Movie Guide

"The Great War and the Shaping of the 20th Century" was fabulous, but they never show it on PBS any more and i can't find it anywhere on video...

My personal fave is Crumb.
The Chairman beat me to it.
The most recent documentary I've seen is The Nazi Officer's Wife. (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0352621) Fascinating.
Pornstar: The legend of Ron Jeremy (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0282856) gets five fuzzy stars. Funny and tongue in cheek. No pun intended.
But one of my MOST fave "documentaries?" SASQUATCH! (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0078203)
