good documentaries

[Joe826]

i watched word wars last night and it was suprisingly good. does anyone know if they've made one of these on professional chess players? seems like it could be as good or even much better.

i also watched capturing the friedman's the other night which i rather enjoyed, but it was pretty depressing.

does anyone else know of any really good documentaries?

oh yeah, hoop dreams is probably my favorite documentary (i think it could legitimately be in contention for the best documentary of all time).

About how marijuana became illegal in the US and basically how it is all BS.

I saw Control Room the other day. Interesting film about Al Jezeerah (sp?), and its coverage of the Iraq invasion.

Also, most of the Ken Burns documentaries are very well done.
