Man on wire. It has the wrong subs, but has a 100% rating and is just an incredible documentary.

The dude walked across the twin towers on a tight rope ffs.

I'm such a geek when it comes to music and wrestling documentaries. Here are some of my favorites:

Alter Bridge - The Making Of Blackbird
Avenged Sevenfold - The Making Of Self-Titled Album
Stone Sour - The Making Of Audio Secrecy
Foo Fighters - Back And Forth
30 Seconds To Mars - Artifact
Dave Grohl - Sound City
Edge - You Think You Know Me? The Story Of Edge
CM Punk - Best In The World
Ladies And Gentleman, My Name Is Paul Heyman

Can't think of any others, atm. But these right here are my favorites!

Tinfoil hats ftw. Most of those are great if only for the sake of what obscure things are left out of the media/seeing how much bullshit the media promotes in the first few hours to get the viewers. I would put some Brendan Hunt stuff up, but dude is kicked the fuck out of youtube atm for some petty Sandy Hook battle. I love me some cheap drama, but he has a couple dank documentaries (specifically the Cobain murder...5 1/2 hours long but so good)

I like this thread..
am a big fan of all the behind the music from VH1 mini documentaries.

This one cracks me up it's a spoof off it from the band Steel Panther which is a comedic mock 80s heavy hair metal band.

Can we just talk about how awesome Steel Panther is?

Really interesting series comparing American society to Scandinavian society in various ways (this particular episode on the prison system).

American Boy: A Profile of Steven Prince is a 1978 documentary directed by Martin Scorsese. Its subject is Scorsese's friend Steven Prince, best known for his small role as Easy Andy, the gun salesman in Taxi Driver. Prince is a raconteur telling stories about his life as an ex drug addict and road manager for Neil Diamond. Really fascinating,funny and haunting doc.

My coworker Andy just released his documentary, Faithful until Death on youtube. It's a documentary on the Swedish straight edge and hardcore scene.
Real interesting watch. English subtitles are available.
