Until I saw your poll I believed he has directed Planet of the Humans, now I see he only produced it. My favorite out of three I have seen is Bowling for Columbine.

Mario, congratulations! It was very hard for me to vote. I think all his documentaries are great. Voted for Bowling for Columbine. I hope the killing stops. We got one of the most strict weapon laws in the world in Germany. So there are 129.000 up to 192.000 Weapons per homcide case, while in USA there are 24.000 up to 28.000 weapons per homicide case. But we only got around 5.5 Million firearms, while there are 243 and up to 281 million firearms in the USA. The count isn't clear, because of the soft weapon laws, there are loads of not registered weapons around. That's a big problem for the police. In Germany the police hasn't got such tremendolous problems with weapons. When I was young someone told me to get that jump knifes and the CS gas to defend myself and I bought it. I proudly presented my new equipment to my father and he took me aside and told me to think about it. "Is that really necessary? Did you ever get into handles where you needed such things? I don't think you will get into such trouble. Please think it over and then come back to me." I thought and thought and it was pretty clear to me, that I was a moron to believe in the words of that guy who gave me fears to buy his knifes, even though I was very proud of my first "dangerous knife". I think it's something atavistic in us, that gives us safeness, when we are armed. Call me a hippie, but I would prefer a world, where people don't need any guns anymore. Sometimes it's only a mind thing to deny it. But the aiming lesson with the airgun in the basement were a real good father-son-time. A long text. Sorry. Only my 2ct. In German (misuse of firearms): https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffenmissbrauch

FYC, this is a fictional film, not a documentary.
