Explores the world of hip-hop djs and turntablism. Good stuff.

It Might Get Loud is great, worth the watch.
Heavy Metal in Baghdad is one I would recommend, I've heard mixed reviews on it, but I though it was fantastic.
The Story of the Who is also really good,
American Hardcore I highly, highly recommend, one of my favorites, I'm suprised we were able to watch it at school.

Some others you might like:
Imagine: John Lennon
Joy Division
The Story of the Ramones
Westway to the World (The Clash)
Instrument (Fugazi)

Yea, the Joy Division documentary was really well-produced and very informative. Highly recommended...

The Krautrock documentary on Youtube was fairly enjoyable, too. Then... of course, there are about three or four documentaries on The Velvet Underground scattered about the internet...

There's also a documentary on Captain Beefheart which (I think) has the almighty John Peel narrating it.

The Art of 16 Bars - a really sweet hip-hop documentary, with tons of who's who...

Tom Dowd & The Language of Music is one of the best.
