My favourite Docs...Your fav Docs...

Graham Hancock's "Quest for the Lost Civilization" - about the astronomical, geographical and mathematical relationships between ancient Egypt, Cambodia, Easter Island etc. Very interesting!

"Before Babel – In Search of the First Language" - an attempt to piece together the world's first language.

"How To Grow A Planet" is pretty good too! The domination of nature on earth!

Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.

Documentary filmmaker Errol Morris investigates the case of a man who became an authority on capital punishment, but was discredited when he got involved on the wrong side of a court case. -Rotten Tomatoes

Two thumbs way up!

 

i love docos on whales

 

Tales of the Rat Fink (2006) The life and times of famed hot rod & custom car designer Ed "Big Daddy" Roth. It's entertaining, upbeat and transformative. Rough patches in the subjects life are left out and the focus is kept on the subject of cars as Art.

 

I even have my documentaries divided... Bios (and even sub-categories within those), but here's a few social ones I like

-Place de la Republique
-Seven-Up (series of documentaries)
-Salesman
-Chronicles of a Summer
