Girls Gone Wild is a documentary, right?



But Civil War was great, probably the baseball doc by Burns as well, Roger & Me, etc.

If you consider any of LonelyPlanet's "Globetrekker" episodes as documentary, then they would be my favorite.

I love the hosts. I love the way the show is presented.

Don't know how I forgot about this documentary the first time around, but I'm adding Scratch. I found it hiding on my hard-drive last night, it's now sitting on my iTouch.

Lake of Fire
- one of the most challenging movies you'll ever see. It's about abortion, the pro-life/pro-choice movements, etc...
- Lake of Fire is made by Tony Kaye (the guy who made American History X) and is shocking at times.
Here's an NY Times review of the issue.
