What is the Best Documentary you've ever seen?

[Jaronimo23]

I recently finished Michael Wood's " In The Footsteps of Alexander the Great" and I think it is the best documentary I have seen. Any other really amazing ones out there?

The documentary "Living on the Moon". Well, it was. Then Constellation got cancelled . Now, my favorite documentary to watch while feeling dumb is "Ancient Aliens". It reminds me there are people who are dumber.

Attenborough's Life on Earth hands down for me

[The Jedi Master]

"Food Inc."

It's about how corporations are making our food unhealthy and mistreating the animals. Really really good.

"The Age of Stupid"

Possibly the best Global Warming documentary I've ever seen.

I really loved Frozen planet, but then again, everything by Attenborough is great.

Since a few months I got interested in (global) politics and the black project scheme's behind it. I really "enjoyed" the documentary the spy who fooled the world about a spy that told a few lies that became the premise for the Iraq war.

I think the best documentaries i ever saw were Francesco Da Mosto's trilogy of Venice, Italy and the Mediterranean, "Around the world in 80 faiths" with Peter Owen Jones also impressed me greatly, but there have been many others too, when it comes to documentaries i've always been drawn most to the travel genre.

Edit* Michael Palin has done some great ones too, "around the world in 80 days" and "pole to pole" were very interesting.
