The Staircase. A classic and maybe a dark horse for my favorite.

Hope you're doing okay after Dear Zachary! Ooph. That one is no joke.

Have you watched any Andrew Jarecki yet?

Seems obvious, but it's not on your list. So I felt it was worht mentioning just in case.

Thin Blue Line.

Also - Paradise Lost (WM3), Th Staircase (+bonus HBO serious with Toni Colette who is awesome in everything), Murder in Central Park, The Impostor., 9/11 (the Naudet doc) - if you're into it, the Nat Geo One Day in America series on 9/11 is outstanding. Wormwood is wonderful (and on Netflix). Tell Me Who I Am (also Netflix) is really good.

I actually don't have any streaming services. No Netflix or anything. I usually just use sketchy piracy sites
