Man On Wire (2008)

The brilliance of director James Marsh is how he created an intriguing, sometimes thrilling documentary around the simple act of wire walking. It doesn't hurt that the key players are great story tellers and complete naturals in front of the camera. 

The other secret to this film's success is the documentary within the documentary. That is, the story of the Twin Towers. Just as interesting as the tale of how a man walked between them is the historical footage showing them going up. Two beyond human feats intertwined into one gripping film.
