here are some favorites off the top of my head..
Zabardast: i'm partial to climbing/expedition docs, but this one is especially good. a travel diary of a group of voyagers exploring the remote lands of Pakistan to freeride ski down its mountains.
Night Fog: very heartbreaking look at WWII concentration camps
Dark Days: documents the lives of the homeless people living in the tunnels underneath New York City, without being intrusive or voyeuristic
Don't Look Back: self-explanatory (Minnesota's sweetheart)

Changed my perspective on so much--namely money and history. It's shocking how so much of the mainstream story of where money came from is false conjecture. For instance, we are told that societies start out bartering for goods and then develop money to make trade easier... but actually Graeber shows in no society has bartering ever predated coinage. The actual ways societies have historically dealt with exchange of goods and services are diverse and often more humanistic. Could it be that the mainstream narrative is merely justification for the inevitability of the free market? 🤔 Definitely want to re-read because there's lots more too

checks all the boxes: easy, quick, cheap, minimal cleanup, all your main food groups and macronutrients, modifiable (today I added sliced mini peppers and green onion), and of course yummy.
doesn't have to be tiny british finger food bites either. I don't cut off the crusts. I pile my toppings high scooby doo style.
hard to get sick of bc you can always mix it up--dill, chili oil, salmon, garlic, olives, tomatos, tabasco... it adapts nicely to whatever you have kicking around. Salt, pepper, and a splash of vinegar is my basic default
