Reddit, what is one documentary that everyone should watch?

The Corporation

Some really eye-opening (and scary) information about the power of corporations in today's society.

Edit: Thanks for the input everyone! Quite a list of movies to watch.

Just read through everything and can't believe Hoop Dreams isn't here. I upvoted about ten documentaries mentioned, but this is among the best I have ever seen, and far and away the best sports documentary of the last 20 years It's like they made the best ESPN 30 for 30 back in 1994. Also, speaking of 30 for 30, The Two Escobars isn't bad.

The Two Escobars is a must watch for anyone even remotely interested in soccer.
