For me, it has to be "Dominion". I lost count of the amount of times I had to look away. Plus the amount of times I wanted to inflict violence on a fellow human! Every person should be made to watch this movie, and even condiser it being shown in schools. Still available to watch for free on YouTube

As others have said, I also went vegan mainly because of books I had read.
I personally have no need to watch “Earthlings”, and do not want to.
I also hesitate to suggest non-vegans to watch it, as I am afraid it might be too graphic.
I love “The Peacable Kingdom” as it sends a very strong message - all without graphic images,

Neither here not there but....
I read that there is a horror movie based on Charlotte's Web. I haven't been able to find out anything about it so maybe I just got mixed up.
My best guess is that the humans butcher Wilbur, and Charlotte takes revenge.
If this isn't already a movie- I might start working on the screen play.
Can you imaging the havoc a literate intelligent spider that can communicate with animals could do in a farm? and then multiply that by 100 when Charlotte's babies are born.
7 MUST-WATCH PLANT-BASED DOCUMENTARIES that I would recommend to everyone. These films changed my life and made me stick to plant-based eating for years. What is your favourite plant-based film or documentary?

I haven't seen all 7 of those. but of those seven, my favorites were Cowspiracy and What The Health?
Forks Over Knives was probably the first Plant Based Documentary I watched. Back then it was considered the best but I watched it again with some relatives and I thought it was sort of boring. Still good info but just not presented that interestingly.

Forks Over Knives was the only documentary for eating just from plants that I saw all the way through, and saw it earlier than Dominion, just a short while after I had been reading the book The Forks Over Knives Plan, by a couple of the doctors behind the movie, for help to those who watched who might change to plant-based eating. It was a life changing movie, it was revolutionary for me, informative, with good supporting evidences, so I did not see it as boring at all. If I knew it all already, it might not be as interesting to me. Still others should see it.

As it is, having a vulnerability I in no way asked for, so that I do not go out to be among any crowds, and with no longer having a working television set, I really do not watch movies, not that I ever watched very many. But it was not movies that led me to being vegan, just seeing the facts, when I had already become vegetarian, had me knowing I should be vegan as soon as it could be managed... there were real obstacles. And it was just what I read a couple of years after I was effectively vegan to know the healthy way, which I wanted, that being with whole foods from plants without the processed stuff that comes with food otherwise.
Pignorant.
It's from 2024 and been mentioned a couple of time elsewhere on this forum, but it's worth a mention in this thread.
It's clear by now that Joey Carbstrong is made of stout stuff, but he and the team showed incredible courage by infiltrating that hellhole. They posed as workers and planted cameras in the CO2 gassing towers to show that asphyxiation—bad enough by any means—is especially cruel when using CO2. They could have had a better safety adviser, but they survived and maybe the jeopardy illustrated the point all the better.
They also visited the 'nice', award winning free range pig farms, and to be honest, I found myself thinking 'actually that's not too bad'—until I saw the hidden camera footage of the day-to-day realities.
And like all the heavy hitters in this genre, it shows up how the big names that are supposed to be enforcing the rules are just part of the problem (RSPCA, DEFRA).
It's all topsy turvy isn't it? We're the only people watching these things, and we're the only people that shouldn't be obliged to :-/

Your last sentence @Daxx is So true and even more sad… Hopefully though perhaps these sorts of films Will find their way to some people who were not quite ready - but after seeing the Horrors just might give Veganism a try… Let’s keep Hoping…
This is the only vegan film/documentary that I've ever seen. I saw it a the Komedia cinema in Brighton a couple of years ago. We were so very lucky as the producer/director Tom Pickering was present and we got to chat with both him and his brother.
However, the entire audience was composed of vegans and vegan AR's activists. Everyone virtually knew each other.
