What are some must-see documentaries you recommend?

[Hemps]

Frozen Planet Series must be in 1080p to fully enjoy it.

 

[Quantum Theory]

Timescapes

Timescapes was not really a documentary though. More like a well marketed portfolio. It was mind blowing, at the time.

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

another one I can recommend, just watched the bangkok one,

scam city, how the prostitutes make money, and how the clubs will fleece you for every cent you got........
very relevant especially if you come with our worthless Randelas and convert to US$.

The Cove was awful. Really hard to watch.

 

[OHNO]

If you are into sport, you won't see it on DSTV, but, American Football documentary, called : "The Ice Bowl". It outlines the very first Superbowl where the AFL and NFL winners met, in 1966, Green Bay Packers vs Dallas Cowboys.

Green bay coached by the legendary Vince Lombardi. What makes it intruiging is that the match day was one of the coldest on records, and that combined with an epic match, was simply unbelievable to watch.

As sport documentary, that is one of the very best I ever saw.

I've bought multiple copies for myself and as gifts for friends. Always well received.

Never seen it but I would get that on Blu Ray. It looks really interesting and its BBC.

Get all the Louis Theroux documentaries. Some amusing and some very disturbing stuff there.

I'm looking for something that's eye opening, thought provoking, and mind blowing.
Please don't post about UFO and Alien crap....something along the lines of CitizenFour (which is one documentary I'm looking forward to watching), something real.

We steal secrets

And

Blackfish
