I(heart)documentaries TOP100

By: Matt Kilgore

The Up series combined into one, using the latest installment.

After adding a couple I can now get rid of “Babies” and “180 degrees South”, those don’t deserve to be here…

Not on the List (placing them between spots to not mess up the numbers)

On the Ropes (between 89/90)
Frontline: Obama’s Deal (40/41)
Say Amen, Somebody (40/41)
Hitman Hart: Wrestling with Shadows (51/52)
Hands on a Hard Body (66/67)
The Lottery (55/56)
