POV Unveils the 25 Greatest Documentaries of All Time
By Maria Goodavage Managing Editor, ITVSYour votes are in, the ballots have been counted, and the PBS series POV has announced the 25 Greatest Documentaries of All Time. Some may surprise you, others not so much.
The top contender is far from a new film. In fact, it's one of the older documentaries on the list. But despite its gray title, it's a lively, quirky, colorful story - one that 37 years later is still mesmerizing viewers. We're not giving away its name, because you'll want to go to the winners' list, where you can see clips from all the top films. But if you're a big documentary buff, you've probably figured it out by now. "Great" is in the eye of the beholder, of course. POV received more than 1,000 suggestions of beloved documentaries during the November online voting period. What do you think of the list? If you voted, was your film on there? And you can tell us: Did you believe in your favorite film so much that you voted more than once? (It's OK. Unlike presidential elections, you were encouraged to cast more than one vote.)
