Grizzly Man: Timothy Treadwell

And Don't Forget...

Grizzly Man (pictured) Pieced together from footage by amateur grizzly expert — and '03 grizzly victim — Timothy Treadwell, director Werner Herzog's doc is more than a reminder not to underestimate the violent call of the wild; it's a glimpse into the mind of a tortured man. (Aug. 12)

Crash Racism and bigotry are loaded topics that usually repel audiences, but not co-writer/director Paul Haggis' version. The Million Dollar Baby scribe offers a jarring snapshot of image-obsessed L.A.'s ugliest face. (In theaters since May 6)

March of the Penguins More like march of the dollars. Audiences have been flocking to Luc Jacquet's bird doc for weeks. Who'd have thought summer's most heart-wrenching heroes would be a bunch of tottering birds? (In theaters since June 24)

Murderball Bad-boy quadriplegic rugby players? We can't get enough! Luckily for audiences, this rousing wheelie of a film expands to 75 screens on July 29. (In theaters since July 8)
