Carl's List | Best Documentaries

I will add my opinion to Spurlock's list of best documentaries since I think he is missing some great films. Exit Through The Gift Shop is a fantastic film but to be on the list of greatest documentaries is absurd and I am sure it just makes Bansky laugh out loud to think people really believed his amazing, well planned hoax.




Films he is missing:


  • Born Into Brothels (should be near #1)
  • Baraka (amazing power without a single word)
  • Marwencol
  • Microcosmos (One of the best nature docs)
  • The Cove
  • The Solitary Lives of Cranes


I agree with him on:

  • King of Kong
  • Touching The Void
  • Grizzly Man
  • Super Size Me
  • Man on Wire
  • Spellbound
  • March of the Penguins
  • Hoop Dreams
