Most recently I really enjoyed The untold history of the United States by Oliver Stone. It links a lot of events together from WW1 to Obama.

For artistic documentaries, Baraka and Samsara are amazing on blu-ray.

For nature, Planet earth ofcourse, also Africa and Frozen planet are absolute must haves from BBC Earth series and Human planet is great as well. Try to get the versions with David Attenborough narrating. I pretty much have the whole BBC earth series on blu-ray, fantastic series. Planet Earth 2 might be my first UHD purchase, although I might hold off until I have a 4K tv. (The new series should be out in March)

I also enjoy documentaries about the universe, any really, Cosmos: A spacetime odyssey comes to mind. Most recently Discovery had the documentary about the Rosetta mission, great stuff.

For guilty pleasure, Mayday series. Last time, 1 missing washer made a 737 go up in flames right after landing. Lose bolt in the flaps punctured the fuel tank after a botched repair job.
