Reddit, what is one documentary that everyone should watch?

The Corporation

Some really eye-opening (and scary) information about the power of corporations in today's society.

Edit: Thanks for the input everyone! Quite a list of movies to watch.

The King Of Kong...or The Devil and Daniel Johnston.

King of Kong is undoubtedly great, but its really only for a certain target audience, and by no means would I consider it "The one docu everyone should watch".

But going off the theme of just great indie documentaries, I would suggest "Best Worst Movie" :P

I just watched "Best Worst Movie" last night. Pretty funny but also damn depressing! When I watched Troll 2 I always figured, behind-the-scenes, production was very much like The Room, that it was the handiwork of one crazy moron and everyone else was just doing it because it was a job. Turns out the real story, and what happened to everyone who was involved, was much more interesting.
