Documentary Top 10 Lists

David Tamés, at Kino-Eye.com, posted a Top Ten list of documentaries at his website. As with all Top Ten lists, this one contains titles that are personal favorites, and others that have been critically acclaimed by documentary fans far and wide. It made me think about my Top Ten list, so I decided to take a stab at it. Here, in no particular order, are ten documentaries that I think are must-see.

1. Nanook of the North (Flaherty)
   
2. Harlan County USA (Kopple)
   
3. The Fog of War (Morris)
   
4. The "Up" Series (Apted)
   
5. Roger & Me (Moore)
   
6. Grizzly Man (Hertzog)
   
7. The Thin Blue Line (Morris)
   
8. Salesman (Maysles)
   
9. The Civil War (Burns)
   
10. Country Boys (Sutherland)
