Best/Personal Favorite Documentaries?

Been watching a lot of documentaries lately and am looking for some more to watch. Would appreciate if you guys could give me some suggestions. Doesn't matter what it's about, although I do prefer sports ones.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure if it has already been mentioned but, Ken Burns, "The Civil War".

 
Wow, just finished watching the latest Netflix true-crime series The Keepers, a seven-part series focused on the unsolved murder of Sister Cathy Cesnik. Cesnik was murdered at the age of 26 in 1969 and, to this day, both the identity of her killer and cause of death have been shrouded in secrecy.

It involves a Catholic priest who was raping young girls in a Maryland Catholic High School. Some Maryland police also got involved with raping the girls while protecting the priest. Cesnik tries to blow the whole thing open and is killed in the process. The documentary raises more questions than it answers, but its worth the watch. A sad and true story.



 
Tickled. Because it's batshit insane.

There's also a really obscure series that was shown in the UK called "Tony Robinsons Romans" that was really amazing.

An ex a couple years ago was on a massive documentary addiction. She loved American Movie.

Murderball is another good one we both enjoyed.

Then came Dear Zachary......similar words but different feelings, not horror and shock but profound sadness, from my buddy's gf when I blindly recommended all three of us watch Irreversible, she asked me after the movie, "Why did you have to pick this one?"
