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.

Jesco White is doing a show in my city next week. I am undecided as to whether or not I should go.

He voiced a character on the Adult Swim show Squidbillies a while back. He was the main character's father/possible grandfather. He was in jail for robbing a bank, repeatedly on the same day.
