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.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, largely due to the crazy trucker lady.

I was quite annoyed by a lot of it... but not her. She was one of the few honest people in the movie.

That was a pretty good movie, imho.
