* Actually reviewed, but everything on this list deserved a review.

2014 was a particulary strong year for documentaries. Note that some of the first films on my list actually opened toward the end of 2013, but didn't screen in SF until January, 2014. And a pack of highly rated films that just opened in LA and NY will not open here until January, 2015: Selma, American Sniper, A Most Violent Year, Still Alice, Leviathan, and Two Days One Night. Have a great New Year, filled with more wonderful films on the big screen.
