Its production values are a little heavy-handed, and its claims often sensational... but much of Zeitgeist's material is corroborated elsewhere. The Hero of a Thousand Faces comprises much of its inspiration regarding Jesus, and that text is pretty well vetted, if dated by its reliance on Freudian analysis.
Then there's From Freedom to Fascism, a documentary you can find on Google, as well as Century of the Self and an interesting presentation on the drug war and 9/11 given by Michael Ruppert a few years back, at Portland State University.
I don't recommend watching any of those videos if you need a good night's sleep.
