* It could discourage active discussion of the "essential" documentaries * It would perhaps discourage active use of the subreddit if there is not enough "new" content, if people deem that the subreddit's job is "done" after the completion of the list * It would require more mod involvement, both in the short term and in the long term In theory this would promote the visibility of smaller documentaries, while still allowing popular documentaries to be easily viewed.

This list would be prominently visible on the top and/or side bar. ![]() My proposal is as follows: create and vote on a categorized list of documentaries that could be considered "essential" viewing for their particular topic. I believe both of these problems can be solved. I also feel that some docus get less exposure than they deserve because the same films are often at the top. I agree that most of these are very good viewing, and I certainly don't want to discourage less-active viewers of this subreddit from finding out about them. ![]() There are some documentaries that are reposted almost every week (I'm looking at you, Century of the Self). ![]() Should /r/documentaries have an "essentials" list to avoid reposts and provide easy recommendations?
