To describe the qualities of an excellent documentary, one should whip out a thesaurus and scribble down everything below 'shocking' and 'inspiring,' and then add something of their own choosing. We won't try doing that, though, because we're certain that you yourself can identify just fine the emotions a truly good documentary evokes, and it is probably something between a definite change in the way you see the world and utter awe. If you miss being this affected by something, namely a documentary, you've come to the right place, for we've prepared a list of the best documentaries to date.
It seems to us that documentary films have entered their Golden Age - each year, we get new invigorating stories, get to know interesting people who had been a sort of an enigma before, and relive some of the most important historical events. And nothing can beat a real-life story as unbelievable as that in Man On Wire or as shocking as in Collective. Somehow these stories stay with you for quite a while, leaving a tangible mark on your life. But that's exactly what we all want from documentary movies!
So, get ready for some incredible stories and scroll on down below to pick one of the best documentaries from our list. We've provided the ten topmost submissions with their own short descriptions, which might make your choice a little bit easier. Don't forget to vote for the movies that impacted you and share this article with your friends.
