Ken Burns' 'Prohibition', 'Jazz', 'Baseball', 'The West', 'World War II', and 'The Civil War' are all brilliantly done.
Carl Sagan 'Cosmos'
'Nightmares in Red, White, and Blue' which is a documentary about horror films is interesting

I'm always watching documentaries and outside of the news it is pretty much the only television I watch as I believe most television is a waste of time. The Pirate Bay is a great source for documentary collections and I'm still working through a file a that was dozens of GB's in size. Most of it has been wildlife, science, politics etc with a bit of the oddball thrown in for good measure. I have watched them all as I think I should be learning something everyday, even if some of the stuff isn't my normal fare. Today I finished one about Stephen Hawking who seems like a funny chap. I had no idea that he was so lazy as a youth. Tomorrow it is something about 9-11 which is in 2 parts and that will keep me occupied in the morning.

The Planet Earth documentary is great

I watch a lot of documentaries. My favorite from Ken Burns is the one he did about the Dustbowl. Saw one the other day about a boxing gym in Houston that was pretty good, but I didn't catch the name.

Room 237 is a documentary about Stanley Kubrick and his insane attention to detail. I strongly recommend it especially for @Gandalf I think he'd really dig it

BBC's The Power of Art is a good one

If you ever set foot in a decent underground nightclub anywhere in the world in the last 25 years then this Documentary is a must see and is a brilliant A-Z journey of how it all started from Disco.
Disco thru Drum and Bass with interviews by the pioneers from Detroit and loads of other frontrunners of Electronic music who kick started the second summer or love/acid house scene and all that followed. :cool:

docu's nowadays are really well-produced, I got to learn about lots of things that evaded my understanding for a long time in just an hour or so programs...
