Vanity Fair celebrates its 25th anniversary this year (well, the 25th anniversary of the magazine's reincarnation, that is...), and among its top 25 lists for the occasion, the editorial staff at VF has compiled its 25 Best Documentary Films of all time. Let the parlor squabbles begin!

IDA's Top 25 list, polled in 2007 from the IDA membership, also in celebration of the organization's 25^th anniversary, shares ten titles with the VF list--Capturing the Friedmans, Hoop Dreams, Crumb, Gimme Shelter, Harlan County USA, Bowling for Columbine, Grey Gardens, Sherman's March, Don't Look Back and Fahrenheit 911. But Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinosky's Brother's Keeper, number one on the VF poll, didn't make IDA's list. While more than half of the titles on the IDA list came from the 1990s and 2000s, with the earliest title being Alain Resnais' Night and Fog (1955), the VF list is a bit more in tune with the term "of all time." Robert Flaherty's Nanook of the North (1922) and Man of Aran (1934) are represented, as are Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will (1935) and Olympia (1938). As twin countervailing forces against the notorious Riefenstahl, Marcel Ophuls' The Sorrow and the Pity (1971) and Claude Lanzmann's Shoah (1985) show up.

And, of course, every list has its omissions, and the VFers have slighted the likes of Frederick Wiseman, Werner Herzog, Errol Morris, Agnès Varda, Chris Marker and Ken Burns, among others. And showing up at number 14 is Nanette Burstein and Brett Morgen's The Kid Stays in the Picture, produced by none other than Graydon Carter, VF's editor-in-chief...
