Lots of good ones named here already. A couple more to add:

Room 237 is pretty fantastic.

I thought Catfish was mostly fraudulent bullshit.

Room 237 is pretty fantastic.

You didn't find it hilarious and thoroughly entertaining? I just.... I can't.

I thought Catfish was mostly fraudulent bullshit.

So, not worth seeing then?

If you want to see amateur filmmakers pretend to be in love/scared/shocked by obviously contrived and constructed events, go for it.

How much worse is it than the Sunny episode about catfishing?

I thought it was insufferable. A bunch of ridiculous windbags droning on about their insane, bullshit theories. Ugh.

Team LV on Room 237. I'm a pretty big Shining fan and I thought it was damn near unwatchable. Particularly annoying were the cutscenes from other Kubrick films that had fucking nothing to do with what they were talking about.

Someone mentioned King Of Kong.

There was a spelling bee one a decade back too which was fascinating.

Babies was good too.

[Kaius]

Restrepo was really good.

It was hilarious. My favorite was the Kubrick faked the moon landing theory. Just absolute horshit.

However, the movie did teach me a lot about why The Shining is such an unsettling film. Kubrick did some brilliant maneuvering, some expert psychological sleight of hand.
