30 documentaries
The documentaries from the 1990s worth your time, ranked.
Hoop Dreams follows two kids for five years and is still the sport documentary everything else is measured against. When We Were Kings is Ali and Foreman in Zaire, and Ken Burns's The Civil War is the series that made archive photos feel alive. American Movie is the funniest of the lot.
