The Smashing Machine- Mark Kerr. Tells about the struggles of one of Mixed Martial Arts (UFC, Pride) great stars. Crank- Made in America. Its part of the HBO undercover series.
There was that one about Timothy Speed Levitch. Cant remember what it was called. In fact, I haven't even seen it (but want to badly.) Heard it was amazing.
i don't remember names on any, but a few which stand out are a documentary on the programme to build the sr-71 and x-15 planes. apart from that many doc's on deep sea creatures-- these are just fascinating. and ofcourse a documentary i saw on the giant squid. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! apart from that quite a few history doc's on ancient greece etc. no specific favourite.
It's not exactly a documentary. It is a movie based on (and using verbatim) conversations that a theater company had while researching the Matthew Shepard (sp?) story to write a play about it. It is called "The Laramie Project" and I highly reccommend it.
The "Space" series from the BBC is outstanding. That's impressive since I usually can only stand British TV for about 5 mins at a time.
Vote 2 for Bowling for Columbine! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Also enjoying Hitler: Rise of Evil, Baraka, and every single National Geographic/The Nature of Things/Psychology 101 I've ever seen. Included all IMAX docs I've seen as well (Space Station, The Human Body, etc) Also Jane Goodall's biography. I'm looking forward to seeing the Woodstock and Spinal Tap documentaries.

Cinemania! I totally forgot about Cinemania. It is about people who go to 4 or 5 or 6 or 10 movies a day... everyday. If you get a chance to see it take a peek. It's just funny at first, but there really is something wrong with the people in the film. Also, here are a couple of computer ones that were interesting at least: Freedom Downtime Startup.com e-dreams
There was this one documentary I saw in high school about alien hand syndrome. It had this one lady telling of this one night where her hand starting choking her and she grabed it with the other hand and was having a battle to loosen the grip. Its a real condition that affects people that have their two hemispheres disconneted.
I've seen so many its not funny. I've forgotten most of them. Above all, anything David Attenborough is involved with is usually top notch, especially the ones he has written himself. Nobody on this planet knows more about the life on this planet than he does. My favourite attenborough documentary and documentary period would probably be "the trials of life, A natural history of animal behaviour ". Other great nature documentaries; The life of mammals Life in the freezer the blue planet series the ultimate guide series built for the kill series grizzly wolves of the sea the life of birds the secret life of plants(I know, plants? But it was really interesting) Cousins(the natural history of primates) chimpanzee diaries Sensitive sharks The vampire birds of the galapogos islands BBC's Evolution series Killers in the sea(Great white/killer whale fight, YAY!!!) and oh so many more non nature documentaries; agreed on BBC's universe series The chicken ranch(it was about a whore house, but it was really good) Worshipping the skies(egyptians) UFO: best evidence ever caught on tape Rosswell(not that bogus autopsy, interviews with people involved etc) Crimes and trials of the 20th century series Secret KGB files series the diary of anne frank 50 years on the air(david attenborough) the color of war series I can't remember all the names, I like documentaries about, ancient egypt, ancient greece, ancient rome, communist russia, cryptozoology, ufo's, crime, the mafia, freaksPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!(oddities and sideshows), space, dogs(history etc), us government conspiracy(cia,fbi, mj12 etc) but most of all animals and nature. Documentaries are AWESOME. I'll watch just about any documentary.
The best documentaries are those from Globe Trekker ! The travelers are very friendly and we can learn lots of stuff on a country (as globetrotters).
