I love Hearts of Darkness about the making of Apocalypse Now
Good call!
I think my favourite documentary is one which was, and continues to be, banned. It was about the U.S invasion of Panama. I saw it on the 'Banned season' late one night years ago on Channel 4.
Either that or 'Manufacturing Consent' - a documenatry chronicling the life and career of Noam Chomsky.
Edit: Then again 'Zeitgeist' was pretty impressive.
And a documentary made by the French philosopher Bernard Henri Levy about the intellectual tradition and politics in the 20th century called 'The Spirit of Freedom'
Third Edit: Or is it Ken Burn's documentary on the American civil war? Another great piece of work, as is his documentary on the first black heavyweight champ Jack Johnson.

Edit..Edit: or could it be the film/documentary made by Wener Herzog called 'Grizzly man'? A truly great film.

Or perhaps the classic Vietnam documentary which was banned for some time called 'Hearts and Minds'.
