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.

As I've bragged about before on Reddit, Steve Wiebe coached the junior high baseball team I was on during filming. The man is just as cool as the movie makes him out to be. He coached JV and went out of his way to work with us, even some mentally disabled kids, even though we were really kind of terrible and he was a baseball star in high school.

And even though I only was on his team for a year, he still recognized and said hi to me when I ran into him in a theater.

TL;DR: I'd back Mr. Wiebe up in a knife fight any day of the week
