Fog of War is excellent. Actually anything from Errol Morris is fantastic. Start with Thin Blue Line that actually helped aid a wrongly convicted man get released. Mr. Death is also good.
Other great ones:
When we were Kings - follows the Ali/Foreman fight
Enron Smartest Guys in the Room
Shake Hands with the Devil - about the genocide in Rwanda and Romeo Dallaire
Spellbound
The Bridge - very dark doc about people that jump of the Gold Gate Bridge. Disturbing but very good
Wordplay - about crossword puzzles and those that play them
Grizzly Man
My Architect
Some Kind of Monsters - particularly for Metallica Fans
Murderball
Beyond that Mat - yes its about pro wrestling but interesting for other reasons, in terms of the cost paid by those that do this for a living.
Capturing the Friedmans - also disturbing but utterly fascinating.
Touching the Void
American Movie
Dark Days - unreal film about people that live underground in NYC.
Life and Times of Hank Greenberg - great baseball flick. If you have time watch all of Ken Burn' "Baseball" series as well.
This Film is Not Yet Rated - recent doc about the flaws of the MPAA rating system]
Deadline - great film about the capital punishment debate
And my all time fave:
Hoop Dreams
Sorry long list. I like Docs.
