I'm fond of Werner Herzog's documentaries, although many of them are more like narrative films.  His most well known is probably Grizzly Man, and it's one of my favorites along with The White Diamond, Encounters at the End of the World, and Lessons of Darkness.

from Lessons of Darkness:
Small | Large


A fairly obscure documentary about Bob Marley's funeral called Land of Look Behind is surprisingly interesting, and very unusual.  Bob Marley and his death are just one aspect of the film and it kind of meanders along and gives the viewer a look at various lives and aspects of Jamaica, especially Rastafarians.

Here's a clip:

I haven't seen too terribly many documentaries outside of Herzog's work, but I do love Lost in La Mancha, about Terry Gilliam's doomed production of The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (which still has hope of being made!).

One of My favorites is Grizzly Man about Timothy Treadwell.  It was a real interetesting look at a man whose passion ultimatly destroyed him. 

Are we counting Walking with Dinosaurs as a documentary?  Showing Dinosaurs are real animals instead of movie monsters makes a great learning tool.

At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
