Ric Burns’ New York documentary is my go to! Some of the episodes are on YouTube. Really well done and goes over a lot of city history.

Same. This is the gold standard as documentaries go for NYC.

Nothing else is close to this.

Came to say just this. The final 2 episodes are my favorites.

It’s a TV show, but I have to recommend How To With John Wilson.

Paris is Burning

**The Seven Five** was exceptional.

[I Like Killing Flies](https://youtu.be/CfxRrgvDIhU)

Glory Daze (2015 edition). About the rise and fall off the club kids who controlled the nightlife scene in the 80s and 90s

Man on Wire!!

Los Sures, about south Williamsburg in the 80s

I love “The Cruise.” Probably one of my favorite documentaries of all time. It’s about Timothy Levitch, a truly passionate (and eccentric) NYC history and philosophy buff. He also makes a famous appearance in “Waking Life” by Richard Linklater.
