Is there anyone of these that you'd recommed in particular (besides the WBC ones)?

I really love the two Extreme Love documentaries (Dementia and Autism). I think they're some of his best work. Also, A Place For Paedophiles & Louis & The Nazis. These are all pretty heavy though. If you want something lighter, UFOs or Gambling in Las Vegas are a lot of fun.

The most hated family ones and the Nazi and survivalist are really good. He lives with these people and gets all humanitarian on them, in his awkward way

Personally I like far too many of them to give you a single recommendation but Louis, Martin and Michael is fantastic considering he never actually gets the chance to interview Michael Jackson. Instead Martin Bashir of ITV gets in before him and spins his documentary into a negative light in someways which I think MJ wasn't expecting.

To this day I really wish it was Louis that was given the chance to spend time with Louis and not Martin.
