Grizzly Man: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427312/ -- the folly of humans when it comes to interacting with wild animals well illustrated

The Fog of War: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317910/ -- whoa. Just: whoa.

The Thin Blue Line: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thin_Blue_Line_(1988_film) -- when a conviction goes wrong.

I guess I really like Errol Morris and Herzog? Probably.

Morris is brilliant. His 1999 doc Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Death:_The_Rise_and_Fall_o...) sticks with me to this day.
Grizzly Man was a tough watch for me. Treadwell clearly had massive self-esteem and likely mental health issues, which were on display in this film.
The Fog of War is perhaps one of the best documentaries that I have ever seen.
More pathos from Werner Herzog: Little Dieter Needs to Fly

I can recommend The Fog of War.
