#3 - 1: Life on the Limit
The history of Formula 1 is something that's very difficult to summarize in a two hour film, but 2013's 1 does a good job of this. The film combines archive footage from the 1950's to the present day and interviews with drivers from their respective eras. There are many quotes which are poignant throughout, but Sir Jackie Stewart's "the 60's where when the sex was safe and the racing was dangerous" is a particular highlight for me. The reason behind that has completely switched in modern times, as motorsport was incredibly dangerous during this period, as highlighted by incidents such as Niki Lauda's which played out in Rush.
The film also showed rivalries which younger fans probably won't know about, such as the debate between increased safety in the 70's between drivers like Stewart, and those who opposed it, such as Jacky Ickx. If there was ever a film to give an introduction to the background behind the pinnacle of motorsport, it's this one.
