With a username like that are you in it?

For me 'Bowling For Columbine' is the best. Funny as fuck but Michael Moore get's the point across about guns.

Years back I showed it to two younger lads that lived near me, they'd pop round when they were skint and couldn't go to the pub, knowing I had beer in the house. The next day their mate popped round and borrowed the dvd. If I lent it out once I did 10 times. I thought they'd hate it but where laughing and educated at the same time.

Best documentary ever. It's also free on YouTube.
 
If you can find it, black fish is a good one, its about Killer Whales attacks in Seaworld

Films for action is a great site for documentaries
 
Couple of years ago saw a documentary about Cricket in Afghanistan. They formed a national team. Was an amazing story and all captured. Their visit to Jersey was hilarious. Talk about culture clash.

Not strictly a documentary but Touching the Void had me watching from behind the sofa
 
There's a tv station in the US, it's called PBS (public broadcasting service) they have a great series of documentaries called `Frontline', you can check it out online and stream them, way worth a look
 
Forgot about this one but watched it again last night, `Dogtown and Z Boys'. The roots of skateboarding in LA
 
Probably been mentioned on this thread(even by myself bad memory) but the two Escobars is great, all about the drug lord and the footballer who gets killed for missing a penalty in the world cup, cracking view

I'll second that, a superb watch even if you've never been into skateboarding.

Well worth watching the movie of the same name also.
 
I'm not sure if it's been mentioned. I haven't read through 34 pages.

The thriller in manilla documentary done recently by HBO. It focuses on Joe Fraziers side of the story.
 
Football manager documentary:

Disclaimer: have not watched it yet.

Disclaimer part 2: got through all but the last 10 mins and it's very good.

Disclaimer part 3: looks like it has been removed from the site above as of this morning.
 
Just watched a brilliant ESPN 30 for 30 documentary on Netflix USA about an American college Basketball team (North Carolina), who won the state championships against the odds in 1983.

I don't have any real interest in Basketball, but this was superb.

The good news is that it's also on Youtube. Well worth a watch.

Money And Power in North Korea (A good insight into how the fat twat keeps himself in power)

The Kill List-An ITV Documentary

Joint operations shared by US and British Special Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I doff my cap to those dedicated people who ultimately try to keep all members of the general public safe.

Highly recommend all the other 30 for 30 documentaries.

I particularly liked "Catching hell" and "Once brothers"

Really well done.

Watched it on Netflix recently. After always wanting to go to sea world I can safely say I'll never step foot in the place. Awful the way they've treated the whales
