Not sure if we have had this topic yet
I don't watch a lot of them, but those I have enjoyed are:

Hoop Dreams
Older than Ireland
ESPN 30 for 30 series.
 
I recently watched Sinatra: All or Nothing at All from 2015 and really enjoyed it.

For longer form documentaries, I really love Jazz and Baseball from Ken Burns, and try to watch them every few years.
 
I love Ken Burns Baseball. His Civil War was good at points, yet other parts made me drowsy.
 
Too many!
I just watched Whitey on Netflix.
Requiem for the Big East was great.
I like Ken Burns Baseball better than Civi War, but it's close.
An Inconvenient Truth.
Roger and Me.
Supersize Me.

For mockumentaries, I will go with Dog Show.
 
Grizzly Man the story of Timothy Treadwell.

Any of the Vice Guide documentaries (especially the North Korea and Liberia ones) absolutely amazing and eye opening.

Supersize me is great, it will make you not want to go near a Mcdonalds for a yer.
 
Has anyone ever read The Harry Truman Biography before? It terrific, very long book, but hard to put down.
 
Brand new one- Bill W. : The Creative Force Behind Alcoholics Anonymous
 
Daniel Yergin's The Prize, on PBS
Eyes on the Prize, also on PBS
 
Hoop Dreams is my favorite.

Loved a lot of the 30 for 30s: Fab Five, Doc and Daryl, the Orlando Magic Shaq era one, the Nolan Richardson one, Guru of Go, etc.

Recently I really liked the Resurrection of Jake The Snake Roberts on Netflix. Really good. Don't even have to be a wrestling fan to enjoy that one.
 
In the Shadow of the Moon.

Truly outstanding Apollo Program doc.

 
Ill be interested when the Oasis documentary Supersonic comes out
 
A lot of the "A Football Life" spots have been pretty good. I really especially the one about Ken Stabler. Although I did pass on the Terrell Owens spot this AM.
