Zeitgeist and The Great Global Warming Swindle, two documentaries that are basically a warning to not trust everyone with a degree
both of them are irrelevant nutjobs backing up other irrelevant nutjobs, the former relying on tinfoil conspiracy shit mixed in with some high-school philosophy and the latter relying on outdated science, conveniently missing information (their chart stops at the year 1970, i wonder why) and Thatcher. Margaret Thatcher is blamed for the climate change movement. I am not kidding.
they're both exceptionally well-made, however, and they're pretty fun to watch - not in spite of but because they are both fucking delusional
if you want something that's not in the so-bad-it's-good category, I recommend everything Louis Theroux's done, in particular:
"The Most Hated Family in America", which deals with the westboro baptist church,
"A Place for Paedophiles", which looks into a mental hospital that houses convicted pedos,
the "Extreme Love" two-part series, which is about autism and dementia respectively, investigating the lives of those affected and
"Behind Bars", where he goes to San Quentin, one of America's most notorious prisons.
I also highly recommend John Safran's "John Safran vs God" and "Race Relations" series, which are both somewhat satirical glimpses into the cultural and religious spheres that stir up all kinds of conflict
this youtube channel has a bunch of weird videos made by religious fundamentalists during the satanic panic of the '80s, covering things like D&D and why it is turning our children into devil worshippers. there's also some old safety and anti-drug PSAs. all in all, goofy retro fun
this is my absolute favourite from that channel, a scare film which boldly claims that the smurfs are all gay zombies
