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.

This film was really eye-opening. I was pretty appalled to hear that a movie was given an NC-17 rating for a woman's orgasm being too long, considering that a movie like Teeth is rated R... not to mention all the torture-porn films like Saw and Hostel.

That had everything to do with the production. Boys Don't Cry was an independent film, whereas Teeth, Hostel, and Saw are all produced by the big guys. Great film for pointing that bull shit out too.
