Here's a few more:
Nazis: A Warning from History by Rees and Remme
Grizzly Man by Herzog
Hearts and Minds by Davis
How did a chess documentary make my documentaries list??
Sort:
Grizzly Man is really funny, and not just because of Herzog's narration. Etre et Avoir deserves a mention. A Moment of Innocence is not exactly a full documentary, but is one of the best films I've ever seen. Same with Gaudi.
I can't really remember the names of anything else, though images do rise to face my mind's eye. I'll get back to you.

Thank you! I suspected you would have fun in this thread

Ah, another that is not strictly a documentary, but nice choice. Add Berlin: Symphony of a Great City.
Oh, and I'm stunned I forgot Jazz on a Summer's Day.

Superb choice! I've seen that at least four times! Brilliant!
How long is the Kasparov/Karpov documentary ? Got a url ? I would like to see it. I might could find it with a google search but if you will find it for me I will cook you lasagna !!
Yes, that, the Vertov, and Gaudi are truly the holy trifecta of great city films. Though I've probably forgotten something...
Downtown 81 is kind of a documentary 
Add wasteland to the list - not related to chess, but worth watching

Atos, I feel that someone should let you know, that if you type these letters into your google engine, "P-O-R-N", you may forget that chess sites exist

I wish it were that easy.
Yes. I've watched it five times now! But the greatest documentaries in history includes the unequaled, in chess:
Kasparov - Karpov, Lyon, 1990 documentary. It's brilliant.
I so recommend this! And you can google it and watch it online for free! This post also gives me a chance to post my favorite documentaries(which I will gladly post soon), and to watch other people's favorite documentaries(if anyone reads this). I am being snowed in very rapidly, and have food, wine, time, and no work for a few days!
