Read my mind man. Restrepo is the shit and Into Thin Air is good but is a much better book. One of my favorite books actually.

this is the one i watched, the sound is not to great on any version due to the equipment used, and especially during the Banksy interviews because his voice is altered to protect his identity but i could hear everything in this one.

Jokes on you, because it was posted in the OP. And, as annoying as it is having everyone talk about how good it is, it actually is a very good documentary.

The One Percent- It's about the massive wealth gap in America
Welcome to Macintosh- Apple's history
Infamy- Graffiti
Ancient Aliens- Blew my mind
In Plane Sight- Brought up interest points about 9/11 but poorly produced, look at some other 9/11 documentaries that propose similar ideas in a much more visually appearing manner
Gas Land- Shows the issues behind hydrofracking
Weed documentaries (Union, how weed won the west, etc.)- Never touched weed in my life its just an incredibly interesting topic,

watched "street Thief" it was ok but apparently its a fiction story based on other cases which killed it. not worth watching knowing that.

I really liked Bowling for Columbine, Food INC., Beer Wars, and The history channel had WWII in HD (if you consider that a documentary) I'm a big WWII history buff and it was really well put together.
