Some of my favorites off the top of my head:
King of Kong: Fistful of Quarters (Arcade score records, particularly Donkey Kong)
Magic & Bird (awesome, awesome doc on them and their competitiveness)
Tyson (inside look at that crazy bastard)
Dear Zachary (Incredibly sad, powerful, inspiring, etc.)
The Bridge (suicides at the Golden Gate Bridge)
102 Minutes that Changed America (9/11 doc)
Waking Sleeping Beauty (about Disney Animation's rise in the late 80s and 90s)
Cocaine Cowboys (Miami drug shippers in the 80s)
Jesus Camp (fricked up and honestly scary look at super religious people and their kids)
If documentary-type TV shows count, then:
Planet Earth
Band of Brothers
Walking with Prehistoric Beasts
When We Left Earth
Others that I own but haven't seen yet:
I.O.U.S.A.
Bigger, Stronger, Faster*
Man on Wire
Some I've heard of and want to see but haven't seen or bought yet:
Exit Through the Gift Shop
The one about Liberia (not sure the title and can't find it to buy)
Docs I just bought after seeing this thread
:
Food, Inc.
H.H. Holmes: America's First Serial Killer
Capturing the Freidmans
Night and Fog
