Ones I would recommend, Sorta alphabetical

Blue Gold (2009) - Described by another poster above. 

Countdown to Zero (2010) - One sided but very compelling case for nuclear disarmament. Regardless of your political ideology this is worth watching.

Cove, The (2009) - Eye-opening documentary about Dolphins and this one particular town in Japan. I don't want to spoil anything, but this is a must watch if you like investigative journalism. 

Crude (2009) - Good overview on massive ecological damage caused by Texaco/Chevron in Ecuador. This documentary covers a heated class action suit waged against Chevron by the citizens of Ecuador. People are getting sick and dying because of Texaco operations while Chevron doesn't want to take responsibility for their actions. Well balanced coverage of the issue.

End of the Line, The (2009) -About overfishing, resource depletion and fisheries sustainability. An important issue that needs more exposure. 

Power of Nightmares, The (2004) - 3 Part BBC Documentary about the use of fear in politics. The first part of this documentary is a must watch as it shows the links between the early neo-conservative movement in the US and the growth of Islamic fundamentalism. Available for free on Google Video.

Sharkwater (2006) - About the poaching of sharks, mostly for Chinese people who are increasingly demanding Sharkfin. As more and more Chinese people gain wealth, they can afford and demand luxuries such as Sharkfin soup, where its consumption was once restricted to a very small percentage of the population. This documentary covers the devastating effects on shark populations worldwide as well as the highly lucrative sharkfin trade.

Planet Earth and Life are also great.
