"Fog of War" also won best documentary in 2003 I believe. It's almost a seminal watch for political science students and/or history buffs.
One more for foodies: "Jiro Dreams of Sushi." The filmmaking style is average at best, but the amazing story of 90-year old Jiro is something that was really captivating to watch - the sheer amount of detail and finesse he places on ordinary things and the amount of psychology he uses in serving sushi is really something else.

I was going to suggest Jiro in this thread, so thanks for beating me to it.
The filmmaking style I agree is average, but the absolute beauty of his craft is wonderful to see. I highly recommend this even if you have no interest in sushi. It is amazing to see someone perfect their craft, or at least come close to perfection.
