Good ones already mentioned.
I've never been as moved as I was watching Newtown though.
Painful to even think about it right now.

Wild wild country was fascinating because I wasnt familiar with the events. One of those "Holy shyt! That happened in the US?"

I really liked the Buena Vista Social Club.
quote:
Aging Cuban musicians whose talents had been virtually forgotten following Castro's takeover of Cuba, are brought out of retirement by Ry Cooder, who travelled to Havana in order to bring the musicians together, resulting in triumphant performances of extraordinary music, and resurrecting the musicians' careers.

My all time favorite documentary series:
Hollywood: A Celebration of American Silent Film
Hollywood, produced in the '70s by the great British film historian Kevin Brownlow, is a "celebration of American silent film". Narrated by James Mason, it contains great clips as well as interviews with many silent film stars, directors, writers, and even stuntmen, some of whom died before the series aired; Brownlow was able to record their stories in the nick of time.
It's full of fascinating detail, such as how the chariot race in Ben-Hur was shot, and how stars like Douglas Fairbanks and Harold Lloyd filmed their thrilling stunts. The episode devoted to stuntmen is especially memorable, as it contains interviewees recalling how some of their colleagues were killed doing stunts for films.
I believe most if not all Hollywood episodes are on YouTube (one episode is sometimes taken down due to copyright issues). All the episodes are great, but if you can only watch two, make them "Comedy: A Serious Business", and "Hollywood goes to War", of special interest during this centennial of WWI.
