How we rank the best documentary movies

This list shows documentary movies with the highest audience scores on TMDB, limited to films with a large number of votes so a handful of fans cannot push an obscure title to the top. Open any movie to see its cast, trailer, runtime and the services where you can stream, rent or buy it.
