Fast, Cheap & Out of Control by Errol Morris.
Best. Documentary. Ever.
-------------------- Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake. -Erik Davis

Does "This is Spinal Tap" count? I know it's a mockumentary, but it's so good.
Other than that, I guess I'd have to say "Bowling for Columbine". (I haven't seen many documentarys)

I just went to amazon.com and read what the movie is suppose to be about. I just have a question, why do you consider this the best documentary ever?

The Blue Planet The best underwater documentary ever. By the BBC
Trinity and Beyond A documentary about nuclear tests around the world. The most insanely beautiful, insane and scary sights you will probably see for a while. A lot of the footage was classified untill recently.
Microcosmos A doc about the cosmos of the bugs
The Corporation About corparations and their place in the world. You will understand anti-globalists better after seeing this.
The Living Planet A beautiful BBC wildlife doc in 12 episodes
The World at War The most extensive doc I know about WWII

Because it's a pretty psychedelic testament to the interconnectedness of all aspects of life. By taking 4 people from completely different walks of life and weaving together images, sounds, narration and music that at first glance seem completely unrelated he shows you how all things inform each other and how the wildly different are very the same.

a good one is "devil's playground"
its about amish teens. when they reach a certain age, "Ramspringa" (or something like that) begins. they are given a period of time to choose wether they want to become a full member of the amish church, and society. they are allowed to wear regular clothes, and party. they party HARD. crazy. its really interesting to watch. drunk amish chicks, some of em living in trailers on meth, all fucked up. a real interesting watch.

Either Errol Morris' brilliant The Thin Blue Line - the film got a man off death row!
or
Nick Broomfield's Fetishes
with
Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flannagan, Supermasochist
as reserve.
