Oh, and another great one I recently bought... Going Underground: Paul McCartney, The Beatles & The UK Counter-Culture
I also liked the recent "Fifty Years Ago Today" documentary on Sgt Pepper's. At least more than I thought I would, seeing that it isn't an actual Apple release.

Oh and Love & Mercy, which is a bio-pic of Brian Wilson but apparently it's pretty accurate. The scenes of him recording Pet Sounds are super cool!
I think the one that moved me the most was You're Gonna Miss Me (Roky Erickson). I have a special place for Watch Me Jumpstart (Guided By Voices), but then, I have a special place for pretty much anything Guided By Voices.
The one I always plug when this subject comes up is Hype!, about the Seattle grunge scene and the effect the title phenomenon can have in a local scene when it breaks BIG. Very well shot and edited too.
