If you can get past the weird framing device, the Plinkett reviews of the Star Wars prequels are an excellent deep dive into the issues with those films: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxKtZmQgxrI&list=PL5919C8DE6F720A2D

Jenny Nicholson's videos are great, but her documentary on "The Last Bronycon" is special, as the realization dawns on you while watching that she has more connection to Brony culture than you might have guessed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fVOF2PiHnc

A time lapse of the history of the universe:

Very minimalistic, but I like the sound and visuals. Just try to tune in and enjoy an existential crisis at the end!

Defunctland's Disney's Fastpass: A Complicated History is a fantastic dive into the logistics of managing a giant crowd over several years, from approaching it as an engineering problem all the way to exploiting the system for profit. It's such a fascinating problem to me, and it's presented in an engaging and fun way. The rest of the channel is fantastic too!

I'll also recommend Fascinating Horror - these aren't fictional horror stories, these are real disasters told in an incredibly detailed but highly respectful way. They don't just explain the disaster and why/how it happened, but also the regulations that came afterwards to make sure these would never happen again. They're all high quality, but if you want a starting point the Nutty Butty Caves will give you a good idea what the channel is about.

Ooh, Defunctland was also the creator of my choice. But I went with Disney Channel’s Theme.

I created a playlist of the recommendations here and thought I might as well share: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9W-RMmS6ewK9p8OtJEKXtClpXEibXEIU

I also added this video on the Boeing 737 Max from MegaProjects, and a couple on a subject near and dear to my heart: Boy Bands of the 90s:

When Corden Met Barlow and The Boy Band Con.
