Louis Theroux's first series is amazing. Kinda odd ball take on things and very funny. Cant wait till sunday.
A few others that come to mind.
tarnation
Cost $218 to make and is produced by Gus van sant(elephant). Quite quirky , often painful to watch doc of Jon Caouettes family. Has an array of differnt types of footage which add to the interest but for me it didnt quite live up to its billing. Lots of friends loved it mind.
march of the penguins
Not sure how my girlfriend tricked me into thinking this was a cartoon but loved it anyway. Awesome take on the love life of these little animals. Narrated by Morgan Freeman.
Touching the viod
Not really a lot here to say other than watch it.
Bus 174
Intense and very insettling. People talk about Rio as being very unsafe, this kinda shows why. Basic plot...guy boards bus, takes passenagers hostage, gets shown on live on TV.
Scratch
Gives the a little history of hip-hop DJing. Not for everyone but has a good vibe.
dogtown and
stoked
Again not for everyone but if you enjoy skateboarding it might be of interest.
