There are tons I'd like to list but I'm a bit short on time at the moment. One thing I will mention, however, is Errol Morris' "First Person" series. I just watched the episode "Leaving the Earth" for the 6th time and it's still gripping as hell. Same goes for Morris' film, "The Thin Blue Line" (though I think someone may have already mentioned that here...?). Anyway, Documentaries = Fuck.Yeah.
EDIT: Oh and "Joy Division" was beautifully done.

"Standing in the Shadows of Motown", covering the hit-maker machine Funk Brothers, Motown's studio band. Really genius music and touching moments, perhaps my favorite "rock documentary".
Dig! is pretty good
i also 2nd scratch
The Heart is a Drum Machine was pretty solid as well
"Standing in the Shadows of Motown", covering the hit-maker machine Funk Brothers, Motown's studio band. Really genius music and touching moments, perhaps my favorite "rock documentary".
+!
American Hardcore is really good cause it reminds me alot of the chipscene, especially in the back half 
seconding "Standing In the Shadows Of Motown" and "Dig!". Can't believe i forgot those.
Awesome thread! I can recommend Synth Britannia and Joy Division - The Documentary.
Anyone seen the Skweee documentary?
Not sure if anyone mentioned it but: American Movie is beyond awesome. Oh and yes, Milwaukee is really like this.

hahaha, i totally was thinking the same thing first time i saw it a few years ago
check out 'stockholm subway stories' if you want to see why swedish graffiti artists are the best in the world..also 'garbage warrior' is a pretty interesting docu about a dude who makes homes from trash. both are great.
a very inspiring documentary is the one about the BBC's radiophonic workshop...(reminds me to upload an old lsdj track)
EDIT: found the name, it's "The Alchemists of Sound "

I saw American Movie these days and I really got depressed (once again) for chosing the moviemaking area as main work 10 years ago.

Just watched this because it was on Netflix. Pretty great! Really makes me hate art people though
Thanks so much for all the suggestions! Hopefully I'll be able to get to all of these badboys
Ya I know some of those art people were jerks hope you find some cool stuff

Just watched The Great Happiness Space! Pretty crazy world that I knew nothing about (but probably will never experience). Definitely would recommend.
These certainly make you more aware of the way things are in the world.
