Anything done by Louis Theroux.

War On Terror: At Home with the Terror Suspects

I have seen a few but can't really name any :/

Gates of Heaven is the golden standard for documentaries in my opinion.

I'd also recommend Helvetica and The Act of Killing.

"Aliens on the Moon"

A great comedy. Except it's a documentary, and that the aliens are harvesting plasma from the sun.

The Story of Aaron Swartz
The Terms and Conditions May Apply

I generally only watch the documentaries that revolve around serial killers and urban legends. Cropsey is a pretty good example of one.

Could you recommend some good documentaries about Mathematics, Astronomy or Computer Science? I've already watched all the ones @[deleted] mentioned.

I'm gonna watch Into the Wild soon. Not really a documentary, but it's close enough.

BBS: The Documentary, it's eight parts, each about forty minutes. It's about the origin of BBS and the subculture that evolved around it. I've only seen the first three, but it's pretty interesting stuff.

Saw your reply and it piqued my interest, I'm on episode 5 and I'm loving it so far. Those guys are really old school.

This one looks like one of those bloods & crips documentaries that I used to watch years ago, I might give it a try.

I'd like a documentary on bara yaoi please.

The only documentary that I can think of is "The King of Hosts" by Vice Japan  but that's not really bara yaoi

I saw a really good one, well only like a bit of it.
I think it was called something like "Hunting Hitler" or something, it was on the History channel.

Was pretty cool, I should watch it someday.
