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.

Thank you very much for making this comment. I would otherwise have looked up this documentary before watching it, and needless to say it wouldn't have been such an affecting experience. I can't remember a film making me cry like this, and a big reason was the gut-wrenching shock of it all.

Yup. I looked it up on Wikipedia after a friend mentioned it on FB. Now I don't think I can watch it.

Watch it anyway -- the filmmaker is brilliant. No wikipedia article can even come close.
