Great documentaries often give access and illumination to stories that would otherwise go untold. The subject of a great documentary can be anything from a single individual's life to a broader political event, and the effect of the films can be anything from uplifting to devastating.
To celebrate the genre, Stacker created a ranking of the top 100 documentaries of all time by leveraging data on all documentary movies to create a "Stacker score" that serves as a weighted index split evenly between IMDb and Metacritic scores. To qualify, the film had to be listed as a documentary on IMDb, have a Metascore, and have at least 1,000 IMDb user votes. Ties were broken by Metascore and further ties were broken by votes. Documentary TV series were not included.

The festival credo is “eyes and minds wide open,” and they mean it.
After canceling last year due to COVID-19, the JTIFF returns to the Mauch Chunk Opera House (14 W. Broadway, Jim Thorpe) for its fourth edition with live, in-person screenings on Thursday, April 22 through Sunday, April 25. That’s right – no glitchy streaming on phones, tablets, or laptops, but real movies projected on a giant screen in the dark with booming sound, the way films were meant to be experienced.
