50 Documenatries to See before you DIE

Spellbound

This is the list that has come from the show of the same name hosted by Morgan Spurlock. He had nothing to do with the list (see #5) it was decided by a panel. Check this page. In the absence of anything before 1988 I'm treating this list as a prompt for some of the better modern documentaries released in the western world in the last 1/4 of a century or so.
I've seen the ones in bold.
Those in italics are on the 'track em down and watch in the next year please' list.
The rest will be in my brain somewhere ready to ambushed and viewed when the opportunity arises
