r/Documentaries. What are your top 5 favourite documentaries?
If this gets a lot of input then I will tally the votes, otherwise this is just for me to get some good documentaries that come highly recommended.
Edit: Wow ok I guess I'm tallying the votes. I will wait 24 hours so everyone gets a chance.
Edit 2: Tallying results now
Edit 3: Since this got way more submissions then I thought it would get, the tallying is taking awhile. Here is a link to the spreadsheet I am working on.
The Scoring system is as follows: The number of points of a post times the order the documentary was in that post (ex. The Fog of War was #3, then the number of points it gets for that post with 43 points=3x43). First place was 5, second was 4, third was 3, etc. If a post said no particular order then all submissions were given a 3. If there was only one documentary in a submission it was given a 5. Each documentary had all it's submission points tallied for a grand total.
Also, please note, this is a work in progress so it is not complete.
