Making a Murderer on Netflix. One of the most disturbing things I've ever seen.

One Day In September

It's about the 72 Munich Olympics massacre.

The Fog of War

It's not bad. Errol Morris interviews McNamara about Vietnam. The parallels between that and our modern conflicts is pretty noteworthy.

My two favorites are Riding Giants and Dogtown and Z-Boys. Both are by Stacey Peralta, the first is about the origins of big wave surfers and the other is about the origins of the modern skateboard culture. I can watch either multiple times any time, and they bothe have great soundtracks.

ETA: Cocaine Cowboys would be in third.

Netflix has an interesting documentary about Camp X in Canada.
They trained spy's there for WW2.

And one about training Helicopter pilots for Vietnam .

Both are very good.

This one is short, and if you know nothing of the Winter War, you'll like it. If you know something, you'll think it's too short/shallow.

Hornet's Nest was great

check this one out too:
Above and Beyond (also on Prime)
In 1948, a group of World War II pilots volunteered to fight for Israel in the War of Independence. As members of 'Machal' -- volunteers from abroad -- this ragtag band of brothers not only turned the tide of the war, preventing the possible annihilation of Israel at the very moment of its birth; they also laid the groundwork for the Israeli Air Force. ABOVE AND BEYOND is their story. The first major feature-length documentary about the foreign airmen in the War of Independence, ABOVE AND BEYOND brings together new interviews with pilots from the '48 War, as well as leading scholars and statesmen, including Shimon Peres, to present an extraordinary, little-known tale with reverberations up to the present day.

"We Can Keep You Forever" available for free om YouTube.
It was made by the BBC in the 1980s I think....
They prove the USA knowingly left military personnel in Laos and that North Vietnam transferred a bunch of POWs to Russia.
