Favorite Documentary?

Used to love Hoop Dreams and Hearts of Darkness...and King of Kong.
But I can't stop watching Searching for Sugar Man.
It's like the Shawshank of documentaries. The music, the story, the main character...he's almost Andy Dufresne-esque.
Searching for Sugar Man is now my favorite doc. It's just better than most films.

I liked Ken Burns' Prohibition. It should be required viewing.

But seriously Catching Hell (Bartman 30 for 30) and The Pony Excess (SMU pay for play 30 for 30)

Hoop Dreams is great. I really liked Through the Fire (Sebastian Telfair) when it came out

Speaking of docs, I'm not sure if this should get its own thread or not, I noticed CNN is showing Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger on Thursday. It's a documentary that was produced by CNN.

The one on Napster was strangely compelling.

I'm always surprised when I ask people if they've seen this one and I usually get "no".
Don't know if it's my all-time favorite documentary, but it's definitely up there and worth mention. Plus, it's a football story. Let's just say they didn't award it the Oscar in 2012 for nothing.
It's the documentary "Undefeated" that follows the Manassas Tigers football team, a severely underfunded and underprivileged football team -- who were even hired out as a practice team for more successful schools -- as they reverse their fortunes, thanks to coach Bill Courtney.
At times, I found myself thinking this can't actually be a documentary, it's fake, but it is real. If you've ever played, you'll definitely relate to many parts.
The part where the coach talks about his father, well, I used to have my kids carry their own sports gear, but now, when they ask me, I proudly carry it for them, even my little girl's pink swim bag, lol.
Check it out, you'll put it up there with a lot of the great football flicks. And, not just for the gridiron footage, which there is a lot.

For a multi-part - Ken Burns' Civil War.
For a single feature - the Naudet Brothers' 9/11.
(And Restrepo is a close second.)
