I list here 100 great true films. These are the best non-fiction films I’ve found for general interest. I define true films as documentaries, educational films, instructional how-to’s, and what the British call factuals – a non-fiction visual account. I recommend here only those great and worthwhile titles that are available on tape or DVD at consumer prices. I indicate first whether a film is rentable from Netflix, and then if it is purchasable from Amazon. If neither of those options are available, I will then list an alternative source.
