A couple to check out :
I cant remember the exact name but there are a handfull of movies about 9/11 conspiracy theories and conspiracy nuts(mildy interesting and some of the theories these crackpots come up with are worth a laugh).
And if you have foxtel you should definetley check out a doco that recently aired on the nat geo channel called jfk:the lost bullett. ( should have a torrent up somewhere by now).
And one of my favourite docos i have seen to this day is cocaine cowboys if you can get a hold of this you will not be dissapointed.

The World at War, best documentary series of all time. Planet Earth after that.

Recent saw the doco Tyson. Very good and puts a human face to the man. As mentioned earlier any of the 30 for 30 docos. Senna is a good one.

Have to agree with your view on The World at War. Extrodinary and very big but well worth a look.

Trying not to mention ones already posted so:
Inside the firestorm - story of the recent Victorian Bushfires that claimed 200+ lives. Amazing footage of the fires and harrowing tales of survival.
Monty Pyhton: Almost the truth (Lawyers edition)
For the bible tells me so - a doco about how the church has persecuted homosexuals.
Bob Dylan: No Direction Home - when Dylan went electric he changed the world.
Sicko - you will appreciate just how lucky we are to have our health system (flawed though it may be)
The Incredible Human Journey: Learn how primitive man migrated from Africa to Europe a beyond
The Captains - Shatner interviews the Star Trek Captains

As a kid was pretty into reading or watching anything about World War 2. This series was just as comprehensive as it got. I found some of the parts depicting the Eastern Front particularly compelling. Funny how there's millions of movies about America or England but they tend to gloss over that part of the war where most of the huge battles were fought.
The Times of Harvey Milk is probably my favorite doco. So well made.The political and social atmosphere was really captured well in this film. So good I didn't really rate the film Milk when it was released as much as others.
Best one i've seen lately is the survival reenactment gem Into the Void.
One i'm about to watch soon is The Fog of War

The World At War is a must buy DVD set, it's too big, too involving to trust it to a half arsed option, besides the DVD extras are great
I am a bit of a doco fan. One of my favourites that hasn't been mentioned is The Age of AIDS:

I googled "best doco's ever" when i had run out of ideas for what to download and got a very similar list to this. Most of them are great - another is 'Lake of Fire', though it's not for the faint of heart and is pretty confronting. Is about abortion in the US.
Deliver us from evil is intense. There is a BBC one about the same thing which is equally appalling but great doco.
In general, the bbc are the kinds of documentaries.

For anyone who has never heard of it, Hands on a Hard Body (1997) is a terrific documentary.

Just watched the King of Kong. Quirky but a great doco

Yeah I agree. Although his interview with Terreblanche was cringe-worthy; not that this was entirely his fault.

Restrepo: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1559549/
Grizzly Man: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427312/
Into Eternity: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1194612/
All quality.
Just re_watched Into Eternity again this afternoon and I'd have to say this movie is unique in almost every way.
The narrative, the direction, the photography and the subject matter all combine to give this an almost horror type feel.
Not to mention the sheer ambition of the Finnish approach to what is conceivably the biggest threat to future generations we will ever devise.
Just an amazing movie on all levels.

As others have mentioned Grizzly Man is a great doco.
Forbidden Lie$ is a great Australian doco about a woman who writes a book that is factually bull s**t about the honour killing of her friend their. She and the doco producers go to Jordan where she (Norma Khouri) tries to prove her story. More lies ensure. Very cunning woman . Very good doco. You don't need to like books to enjoy this doco lol!
SBS play it once in a while too.
The World At War sounds like one to check out.

I am a huge fan of 'Restrepo', but I do watch any war documentary. Restrepo is real, seeing the emotions of these kids, its amazing.
For fans of Restrepo, I can reccomend 'Armadillo', its a Danish documentary in the vein of Restrepo. Extremely powerful, again, shows the reality of war and the lasting effect combat has on a soldier.
I will definitately watch 'Into Eternity', looks good.

Fork over knives - a documentary about nutrition. I really enjoy documentaries about this topic. Anyway it talks about the benefits of whole food plant based diet. I will consider going vegan.
