I don’t see Titicut Follies or The Cove or The act of killing, or the sweatbox, under the sun, or even Fahrenheit 9/11?

The act of killing is probably my favorite documentary of all time. Very brutal though.
Best USA-made docs.
I know these lists are usually designed for ragebait, but honestly? Pretty good list. I don't agree with every pick, and not necessarily the rankings of the ones I do agree should be on the list. But it didn't have me yelling at my phone at any point.
James Burke's 'Connections' would like a word.
That was an educational/Docu-series. This is a list of documentary films.
Otherwise, this would just be a list of Ken Burns documentaries.
I love ken burns documentaries to fall asleep to. The universe is also good, as well as anything narrated by werner herzog.
surprised to not see Dear Zachary on that list.
that is one documentary that is just a roller coaster of emotions. Never have I watched something that made me both incredibly upset to incredibly furious.
Another great one if you're a fan of sports and baseball: The Battered Bastards of Baseball. that is one AWESOME watch. I already loved Kurt Russell and his family but after watching that I appreciated them even more.
