Muscle Shoals. Because it shows Alabama sound > than anywhere else in America other than Seattle.
Gonzo: The life and work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. Because he influenced me in how I look at the world around me.
Joe Strummer: the future is unknown. Absolutely amazing.

Maybe not the best, but I really enjoyed them.
Food Inc. may be the worst I've seen though

I really enjoyed the new doc based on the life of the guy who was a producer and director of "Restrepo".
It's on HBOGO the last I looked - "Which Way Is The Front Line From Here? The Life and Time of Tim Hetherington".
I won't say anything but the guy is amazing.

Spine Tingler! The William Castle Story - great documentary on the last great showman in Hollywood. I would love to go back in time and expierience what it was like to be in a theater where Castle rigged the sits to vibrate or have to sign a life insurance policy before entering the theater in case I die of fright.
The Rise and Fall of ECW - great documentary on my favorite wrestling company.
Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film - fun documentary on the slasher genre. Lots of great behind the scenes info

The Times of Harvey Milk
Going in, I didn't know anything about him. Saw it before Milk. Great man. A tear was shed.
I gotta think of the other two.
