Best Sports Documentaries

I love a well-made documentary. Seen loads but plenty more to watch yet. I was wondering what folk think of certain ones, not just football ones.
I watched 'Greavsie' again last week, it gets good marks on IMDB etc, 4 out of 5 rating, but I thought it should have been a lot better. The good, most effective parts for me were the interviewees, with the exception of Rio Ferdinand and to a lesser extent Gary Lineker. It's a BT film though so I understand why they were on. Lineker at least knew what he was talking about, RF was just thrown in for no real good reason I reckon.
One of THE best for me, even though it's basketball, is The Last Dance which is basically the story of Michael Jordan. It's a long series but fascinating and emotive at the same time.
NEVER watched the LU ones made by Amazon
