It provided the template for later '60s documentaries, from Eyes on the Prize to Berkley in the Sixties, in how it used news footage and vintage popular music (especially "For What It's Worth" and "We Should Be Together"). It was also very good in its tone--sympathetic but also ironic and objective. If there's a better video history of the anti-Vietnam War movement, I'd love to see it. This one was nominated for an Academy Award.
Though it was a TV series, not a movie, the documentary that Real Life was satirizing is also worth seeing if you can: 1973's An American Family. Reality TV starts here.http://imdb.com/title/tt0211195/

I might start the nominations process concurrently with this one but wait until this is over and done with completely to get the voting started.
I think that decade is more unpredictable, which is why I'd find it interesting to do.

Oooo! Thanks for reminding me. Now I have to figure out where to rank it on the list.

Sure, but no more so than any other such endeavor. The Sight and Sound poll only allows 10 picks, across the entirety of cinema history. Of course it's a ridiculous exercise. But it's fun. People like making lists and arguing about them. And you like arguing about them too, Dr.M., or you wouldn't always show up on these threads. I respect your taste and your thoughts on film, but your principled disdain is a little comical.

Or maybe Lucas would make more sense there

I dare you to find a principle in my disdain!
Sure I like throwing out lists of great movies, but since no two of my own from week to week would match, locking them into a ballot is just too labor-intensive to me.
