Ancient Aliens .... ** 
Seriously though, I like the Egyptian documentaries but there haven't really been any new ones lately. Mysteries at the Museum on the Travel Channel isn't a documentary per se, but it has some interesting events.

Ken Burns recent one on Vietnam. It's more of a documentary series rather than a single doc, so will take some time to watch.....
"Long strange trip" it's on amazon
even if your not a fan of the Grateful Dead its great.
of corse this is coming from a fans prospective tho so take my advice for what it's worth

How about the **** Town podcast. I guess it was more an unfolding story from an investigative journalism angle than a documentary, but I really enjoyed it as much as a lot of video docs.

This has been mentioned before but The Jinx was pretty damn good.
The ending scene... holy shat.

If you like conspiracy theories, Zeitgeist will make you question everything. Some of the stuff is a little far fetched, and agenda driven but some of the conspiracies they dive into.......Religion, Stock Market, 911, The National Bank...........I found this stuff pretty interesting.
Do not watch without having an open mind. I had a pretty religious buddy make me cut it off.

Just watched one on Netflix last night called Williams. It’s under recently added and tells the story of the Williams Motorsports F1 team and the story of Sir Frank Williams. Awesome documentary. Produced by BBC Films

Good watch. Also, most Ken Burns docs are great. The Civil War doc was his best in my opinion. I love Civil War history so I’m a little partial.
Detroit Mob Confidential by Scott Bernstein and Al Profit
These guys do true crime docs and I'm a fan. The Detroit Mafia Family is fascinating and often overlooked and they are the authority. This doc, which is full length free, is the most comprehensive Detroit LCN doc on the net. They've also done a good Hoffa doc called "Killing Hoffa" and it's free on Amazon Prime and they have one coming up on White Boy Rick that I've been waiting on for a while. Should be awesome.
I watched “Meru” a few nights ago
Thought it was fantastic. It’s about 3 climbers attempt to be the first to climb a peak called Meru in the Himalayas. It’s crazy to think about having to spend 10-20 nights on a peak like that.
its on Amazon Prime right now

This times 10.
And if you love baseball, Ken Burns' Baseball. I've watched all 9 Innings (2 hr VHS a piece) plus the most recent 10th inning at least 3 times in my life. So, about once every 12 years. Long, but fantastic.
Also, I didn't put it together until the end, but The Jinx was produced by the same guys who did Crimetown... which is a very good documentary-type podcast as well (at least Season 1 was).
Is that the one where the High score champion has been disputed or there was controversy? If that’s it, was definitley a good one.
check out Ghost Army it is about a unit that's sole purpose in WW2 was to create deception using inflatable tanks and other decoy stuff.
There are a couple of good music-related ones on Netflix... or at least there were.
There's one on Tom Petty that's really good. Also one on back-up singers called Ten Feet from Stardom (or something along those lines).
Also some good history-related ones as well. Saw one a few months ago about the finding of Richard III's remains.
