The Top 25 Documentaries?

angela

Karte_arthur_agee_hoop_dreams_1994_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?
