I agree with a lot of your selections, but not Grizzly Man. Most of those in the film were reading from a script.
Your source? A lot seemed very improvised to me. I wouldn't really mind though as the film was first and foremost about Timothy Treadwell, whose footage was never scripted. The film offered a deep insight into this intriguing man and as a viewer I came away entirely satisfied, knowing that's exactly what I got and then some.
You could tell. Especially the guy who supposedly performed the autopsy. Wasn't natural at all. Many, many people have said the same thing, I made sure to look into it the second it ended. So blatantly scripted in fact that a lot of people have even gone as far as to prove that Treadwell even existed to make sure the documentary wasn't a hoax.
Aha, I just thought the autopsy guy was rather eccentric, but yes that part did seem rather scripted. Nevertheless, it didn't hinder my enjoyed of the film, as everyone besides Treadwell was just a means of information. Scripted or not they served their purpose and the film came together. I don't see what the problem is. Not all documentaries are masterfully improvised.
It's still a legit documentary, but I was completely taken out of it once I hear the scripted lines.

I saw this not long ago and I was very pleasantly surprised. Great cinematography and a very interesting ending. Almost as if he would have liked it to end that way.
Best film for me recently was Defiance. Loved it.
