Good documentaries

I've actually got the place to myself tonight so may have to have a marathon session on catchup or online, it's either this or Gold Rush, which is terrible but also quite addictive.
YouTube has full length episodes. It's all I watch now.
 

Even though it's 10+ years old, the documentary Channel 4 made on hooliganism called "Football's Fight Club" that was pretty good.

Also Ken Burns' "Baseball" and "Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson" are very good as well.
 
Ghosts of The Abyss - James Cameron's undersea odyssey to get up close to the Titanic. Better than I expected, it's obviously a heartfelt passion for him and the HD video images from a ship a couple of miles under the Atlantic are often stunning. Bill Paxton is the audiences way in as he accompanies the expedition and is clearly nervous on the dive, and the scenes of the team recovering the submersibles in rough seas are proper brass balls time. It is a resting place so there is a question over the ethics of making awestruck entertainment from the site of a tragedy, but it was fascinating in parts.

On Amazon Prime for a couple of weeks.
