The Top 25 Documentaries?
Angela
IDA has listed their top 25 documentaries.
Personally, I 100% agree with Hoop Dreams as the number one documentary of all time. The number two choice, The Thin Blue Line, was the film that made me want to make documentaries. I was in high school and an active member of Amnesty International. We were part of a letter writing campaign that along with the film helped to successfully release Randall Adams.
The rest of the list has some great choices (Capturing the Friedmans and Sherman’s March); some I am not sure I agree with (Fahrenheit 9/11) and some I haven’t seen (Night and Fog and Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance).
What do you guys think? Who do you think is missing?

Eyes on the Prize, which also happens to be on Stanley Nelson’s Shortlist. For all the reasons he states.
