    There was a documentary on the City of God DVD that was better than the film (and I thought it was an amazing film).

    A few from Netflix that I could find that I rated:

    Endless Summer

    Death in Gaza

    The Filth and the Fury

    Jiro Dreams of Sushi

    Baseball

    March of the Penguins

    The Art of the Steal

    Born Into Brothels

    The Aristocrats

    God Grew Tired of Us

    The Fog of War

    The Lost Wave

    The Last Waltz
