Hard to say. There are so many great ones.
The Empires Series - "Within the long history of civilization are great eras of struggle, triumph, and loss. These periods are reflective of the best and worst of humanity: explosive creativity, ultimate depravity, the use and abuse of power, and war." http://www.pbs.org/empires/ New York (7 episodes) "This exhaustively thorough documentary chronicles the evolution of the city from its time as a Dutch settlement in the early 17th century to its current status as megalopolis extraordinaire. Famous New Yorkers including Martin Scorsese, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Fran Lebowitz, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, and former mayor Ed Koch lend their colorful local perspective. In addition, there's commentary by numerous historians and writers, most notably Pulitzer Prize-winning Mike Wallace (not of 60 Minutes fame, but rather author of Gotham) and the late Brendan Gill, who notes the distinctly capitalist foundation of the city. As he succinctly states, "New York was based upon greed." [ame="http://www.amazon.com/New-York-Episode-PBS-Boxed/dp/B00005NC51"]New York[/ame]

The Ken Burns documentary called The Story of Elizabeth Cade Stanton and Susan B Anthony. What a great movie, full of facts, figures, struggles, sacrifices, unexpected alliances, and perseverance of two very common women. A good refresher course for folks whos memory of the history of women is a little fuzzy. |

It's about the creator of the Elmo character. There's a heartbreaking scene where the puppet meets a Make a Wish child, and the puppeteer is crying. I've never liked Elmo much until I watched this documentary.

Well, who better than a Baltimorean to create such a well loved character! I'm partial....yes, yes I am.   I am watching this now, and am already becoming a renewed fan of Elmo. |

The film, I Like Killing Flies is fantastic. It's about the smallest restaurant you've ever seen and the cantankerous, philosophical chef/owner. I had the pleasure of eating there just once when I lived in NYC, before it moved to its new digs, and I have never forgotten it.

I love PBS,not long ago they ran a show about when the cajuns settled in Louisiana,how the culture developed the traditions it has.The show also touched on the melting pot of folks that have made theis state what it is.Louisiana is a great state,but with the republican influance we have at the moment has dimmed the light for many hear.I know when we had a democratic base even tho it was falmboiant to say the least,we have flourished.
