The Act of Killing, which I also think happens to be the best film of 2013.

Last time this thread popped up someone recommended Dark Days, which is available on YouTube and well worth a look. I watched a documentary about the killer whales in SeaWorld recently called Blackfish which was excellent.

A very quick forum search will turn up over a dozen threads on documentaries.

Nothing specific but I found documentaries on the Chernobyl disaster very interesting.

Try the Documentaries forum.
"History of oil" by Robert Newman is good. More a stage show than a docu but very good.

Locking this thread, as the OP has set up multiple accounts to post these pointless recommendation threads. Don't even ask us why, because it's equally baffling to us!
