25 Favourite Documentaries 1977-2023

 25 of my Favourite Documentaries - Sorted by Year

While working on my You Know Harvey Documentary a lot of things have been coming up including style, structure, storyline and message.   I started compiling a list of documentaries that have stuck with me.  There are not a lot of war films or violent ones,  I stayed in my lane of Food, Film, Stuff and the things that I am interested in.

I am not going to give you the synopsis.  I want you to do a little digging to see if you can find any of these films and decide for yourself if you are interested in them.

They are not listed by preference but I sorted by the year they came out from oldest to recent.

These films reflect the themes of Food, Celebrity culture, Image, Health, Environment, Music, Illness, Corruption and Comedy.   Hopefully they will touch you and stay with you too.
