There are two lists here. First is my list of the greatest documentaries. This means a couple things. First, there is a heavy emphasis on feature-length as opposed to shorter programs. Second, the first three are my model films and are separated accordingly. Third, there are only films that I've watched significant portions of.
Below this, is an additional list. These are mostly political documentaries I haven't seen yet.
