Default Documentary on Blu-ray List

Since this format keeps on growing with more and more new releases every week, and since I am a documentary buff, I thought I would keep a running list of Documentaries and Related Special Interest releases such as Sunrise Earth on the Blu-ray format. I will keep a primary list on this post, and try my best to keep it updated with new releases, news, and cover art as I hear about it, or as people post on it.

I am only going to list U.S. releases since this list is long enough already.

Thanks for the excellent list. At some point, you might want to consider whether to include docs included as supplements, like the excellent feature length The Pixar Story from the WALL-E 2 & 3 disc releases.

Since you've got Monterey Pop & Woodstock listed, I would think Soul Power and The Kids Are Alright would meet your definition as well.

Not sure about Stop Making Sense, The Who: Kilburn 1977, The Who: Live at the Isle of Wight Festival, The Last Waltz or Michael Jackson's This is It.

How about Monty Python: Almost the Truth?

Baraka. Simply a must see on blu.

Others that I enjoy are ENRON, Food INC, It Might Get Loud, Riding Giants, Planet Earth. Thats a pretty good variety.

Plenty of others that I'd like to see on blu but I can't see transfers of politial docs like Taxi to the Dark Side or Religilous or Sicko happening..... ever. As long as more are made from here on out I'll be happy.

Are these concerts or documentaries? Monterey Pop is a documentary.

I am not including supplements of other discs, just the main feature releases. Every "making of" featurette is a documentary.

"Pixar" is not a "making of" doc, it was exhibited theatrically.

Kids is definately a doc, I'm pretty sure 'Soul Power' would be comparable to either Monterey Pop or Woodstock in terms of structure etc. 'Stop Making Sense' & 'Last Waltz' are both concert films that exhibited theatrically. 'This Is It', 'Kilburn', 'Wight' to the best of my knowledge, never exhibited theatrically, but neither did about 50% of the titles you show.

'Kilburn' & 'Wight' are concert films, 'This Is It' is concert rehearsals, don't know about additional content.

I just noticed you don't have Gimme Shelter, definately a doc (a celebrated one at that), not "just" a concert film. I'm OK with whatever you decide, might want to read the reviews linked to decide.

I guess I wasn't clear, but what I meant to say is that if I started to include supplements on this list, then every "making of" featurette would be considered a documentary on the making of that particular movie. I wasn't trying to call The Pixar Story a "making of" featurette. Sorry for the confusion. Is "The Pixar Story" in HD?

Kids is definately a doc, I'm pretty sure 'Soul Power' would be comparable to either Monterey Pop or Woodstock in terms of structure etc. 'Stop Making Sense' & 'Last Waltz' are both concert films that exhibited theatrically. 'This Is It', 'Kilburn', 'Wight' to the best of my knowledge, never exhibited theatrically, but neither did about 50% of the titles you show.

'Kilburn' & 'Wight' are concert films, 'This Is It' is concert rehearsals, don't know about additional content.

I just noticed you don't have Gimme Shelter, definately a doc (a celebrated one at that), not "just" a concert film. I'm OK with whatever you decide, might want to read the reviews linked to decide.
Thanks. I checked out some of the reviews. I have added
Gimme Shelter
Soul Power
The Kids are Alright
The Last Waltz
Michael Jackson's This is It
Monty Python's Almost the Truth

I think your thread should be "Stickied." This is a fantastic list and reference tool for all things documentary. Thanks, again!
