  Rivers and Tides is there. I highly recommend it and The Queen of Trees (2005) which is not in the list.
- michelb 3y ago
  Missing "Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008)" here. I thought it was very good but an absolute kick to the stomach.
- echelon_musk 3y ago
  Thanks for providing the list from a borderline unreadable website. (FYI King of Kong is listed twice as entries #26 and #42.)

  >34. Free Solo Also worth mentioning The Dawn Wall (2017) Meru (2015) The Alpinist (2021) The mindset of the people at these extremes is really interesting. Clash of cultures with Magnus Midtbø visiting Honnold was also an interesting watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyya23MPoAI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyya23MPoAI

The Fandom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv0QaTW3kEY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv0QaTW3kEY Even the best-intended looks at the furry fandom from the outside tend to be surface level with a focus on dispelling stereotypes. The Fandom comes from deep inside and covers the fandom I know, not just the fursuits, which are a good and valid but tiny part of it.

Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control by Errol Morris [0] might be the best ever for its detailed exploration into its four subjects and their passions into their area of expertise. It’s so simple, but part of why it’s so hard to make a documentary. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast,_Cheap_%26_Out_of_Control https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast,_Cheap_%26_Out_of_Control

Hoop Dreams is not on a list of the 50+ best documentaries? There's Something Wrong with Aunt Diane - investigation of a car crash that killed 8 people Art of the Steal - walks through the back-room negotiations and money resulting in the move of the Barnes Foundation (one of the world's greatest private art collections) from Main Line to Center City Philadelphia, which was specifically against the patron's wishes. Roger & Me - I don't love Michael Moore's politics or his later movies but his breakthrough film, where he looks at everything gone wrong in his hometown of Flint Michigan, is very good. June 17th, 1994 - this is an ESPN 30 For 30, splices together TV clips covering multiple historic sporting events of that particular day, most famously, the O.J. Simpson car chase. If you weren't alive on that date (and even if you were) it's utterly fascinating.

American Movie (1999) has lived rent-free in my head since Y2K. The filmmaker Chris Smith has gone on to make Fyre, Tiger King, Bad Vegan and others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Smith_(filmmaker) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Smith_(filmmaker)
- BMc2020 3y ago
  I seem to recall from the end credits, where after it was over at Cannes, they said anyone who wanted to stay and watch Coven could. Everyone stayed.
  - kevinsync 3y ago
    For a couple of years there after it came out on DVD, Mark Borchardt and Mike Schank had a website that they posted Mike's phone number, and you could call and leave a voicemail. That always put a smile on my face, his outgoing message was jamming on a guitar playing Led Zeppelin. I wish I could recall the URL to find it on Wayback Machine.
- Fricken 3y ago
  If I have a favorite genre of doc, it's the ones about outsider artists. In addition to American Movie I love "Monster Road", "In the Realms of the Unreal", "Exit Through the Gift Shop", and my personal favorite "Crumb".
- chaosmonger7 3y ago
  I just watched American Movie for the first time a few weeks ago. It is just so endearing man. Hell, I might watch it again today.

The Act of Killing

Everything and Nothing: the Amazing Science of Empty Space: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2071460/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2071460/ The Corporation: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379225/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379225/

Grossing over $222 million total worldwide, the film is the highest grossing documentary of all time, according to Box Office Mojo....It was the highest-grossing film released by Lionsgate until it was surpassed by The Hunger Games in 2012. Down the memory hole. It's not mentioned once here. (up til this post)
- daswerth 3y ago
  What documentary are you talking about?
  - sparky_z 3y ago
    Fahrenheit 9/11
- arp242 3y ago
  Maybe because it's not actually very good? It's extremely partisan and conspiratorial, and doesn't actually document or explain much of anything, beyond "Bush bad". It's not surprising that a "Bush bad" film did very well in the aftermath of the Iraq War and the brazen lies from the Bush administration to sell it, but that doesn't mean it's actually a good documentary, or that it has lasting value. I watched it back in 2004 and thought it was just brilliant, but I watched it again last year and I found it shocking just how incredibly conspiratorial and superficial it is. I do not consider it to be a serious documentary.
derbOac 3y ago
I'd have to say my favorites are 1. The Up series 2. Fog of War 3. The Act of Killing There's several on that list that I want to see now, though.
- pphysch 3y ago
  2 and 3 are among my favorite as well, guess I gotta see 1! Thanks
- chaosmonger7 3y ago
  I have watched the Fog of War so many times. It is just hard for me to rate the King of Kong or American Movie against the Fog of War though. Those are my top 3. I will have to give the The Act of Killing a go.

IMDB best documentaries - https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=feature,tv_series,short,tv_miniseries,tv_movie,tv_special,tv_short&genres=documentary&sort=user_rating,desc&num_votes=5000 https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=feature,tv_ser..., 1. It's not the best people have ever seen, it's what average people love [1] 2. Ratings # is 5000 minimum. Rare stuff has less ratings. I doubt many in this HN thread would be less than 5000. 3. Political/emotive docos on strong lines will be overrated. It's a effect with some Indian or Turkish topics, and things like veganism or the holocaust. They are often rated higher than the quality of the documentary. 4. You can make the minimum 5000 ratings higher for more solid docos. You could try putting rating # to 1000 - 4000 to try and find some gems, but I don't think that will work. I think the gems are ones people don't get. So low numbers and middle ratings. Maybe looking at the graph of the votes might work. IMDB data is open to download FYI 5. Torrents are really bad with keeping docos alive. eDonkey fills the gap a little more. Youtube are always low quality. [1] Mads Brügger The Ambassador (2011) is so subversive, it often makes me think. It's only 7.2 with only 4200 votes. It's hard to say is it good? His "The Mole: Undercover in North Korea" (2020) is on the list however.

"Crack House USA" was quite the accomplishment in my opinion. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1991025/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1991025/ Intimate view through surveillance cameras over 6 weeks about the inner working of a crack house. With interviews from law enforcement, families and later convicts. Unorganized crime being the key word here, including drive by shootings by barely adults whos perceived room for maneuvering narrows to the extreme.

Chiming in a second time to throw in just about every Ken Burns and Rick Burns episodic docs on PBS -— they have so much depth that it’s crazy. “The Vietnam War” is like 18 hours long. This is a bit hyperbolic and reductive but if you want to understand why an older person in your life is the way they are, pick a Burns documentary set during their formative adult years and so many puzzles get solved haha. I’m terrified to see Ken Burns’ “The Internet” in 20 years lol
