Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (Alex Gibney, 2005) – American capitalism at its best. An inspiring story, but they got caught, so I guess they were just not smart enough.

    You forgot Moore's "Roger & me", it should be on the top of the list. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098213/

    My friend Shira also recommends the series "The Century of Self" (http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/documentaries/features/century_of_the_self.shtml).

    I don' t know about the first one, but the next ones cannot be called documentaries. Even Michael Moore does not quite present facts as facts – he makes a hotch-potch of them. Even then, I did love Sicko and most certainly, Capitalism a love story
