33 - Nanook of the North (1922)

Like the Documentary Now! spoof, we’re really more interested in our protagonist Nanook (Allakariallak) than the admittedly-groundbreaking documentarian Robert J. Flaherty.  And sure, it’s obviously staged.  But our survivalist hero sure knows how to use the hell out of a walrus tusk knife.  It’s mesmerizing.
