I love documentaries and am always on the lookout for any good ones. Anybody have any good recommendations?

Off the top of my head:
Harlan County, USA (little depressing but very interesting)
The Last Waltz (great if you like Scorsese and/or The Band)
This Film Is Not Yet Rated (might make you think twice about basing your movie watching on the MPAA)
Adabisi said:Sam Dunn's metal docs are great, but I don't think they have much appeal outside fans of the genre. Check out Rush: Beyond the Lighted stage if you haven't.
Adabisi said:The Anvil doc is amazing and easily appeals to fans outside the genre. One of the best "never give up" stories I've come across. Lips lives in my area - I see him around the neighbourhood every now and then. Permanent smile on face.
Adabisi said:Dear Zachary - don't read anything about it. Watch it. If you're not bawling your eyes out by the end, you're not human.
Searching for Sugar Man - well-deserved Oscar. Great story, incredible life.
Hail Hail Rock and Roll - Chuck Berry. Worth watching for the scene with him and Keith Richards alone.
Heavy Metal in Baghdad - incredible story of a metal band trying to make it in Iraq.
Dreams of a life - searching for answers about a woman who lay dead in in her apartment with the TV on. For 3 years.
Gonzo - Hunter S. Thompson in the 70s.

Frantic Canadian said:I haven't seen The Last Waltz but if I'm not mistaken it's a concert film and I'm not a fan of The Band so I'll pass on that one.

I streamed it but I guess it's not available anymore.
Adabisi said:I'm a massive metalhead, but I'll be the first to admit The Last Waltz is the best concert film ever made. You've got the best musicians of the 20th century sharing the stage for one night. Give it a shot.
Frantic Canadian said:Even better than The Song Remains The Same? I am a big Scorsese fan though so I think I'll give it a shot.
