Great list krub!
I wish you would give us more...
I think you should also share your list of favorite documentaries, too, no matter whether they are available as DVDs or not.
The documentary I wish I could see now is SOIS BELLE ET TAIS-TOI (1981, Delphine Seyrig). I just knew about this film from Mubarak Ali. It looks very interesting.

Umm... I love documentaries in general so it's hard for me to pick.
I'll give you 5 that come to my mind at the moment after looking at your list.
- Time Indefinite (Ross McElwee)
- Homework (Kiarostami)
- How to Live in the German Federal Republic (Harun Farocki)
- The Sky Turns (Mercedes Álvarez)
- Eadweard Muybridge: Zoopraxographer (Thom Andersen)
I haven't seen any of them. Thanks very much for your suggestions.
