There is an excellent documentary about opera singer Max Lorenz called "Wagner's Mastersinger-Hitler's Siegfried" a fascinating web of archival footage, interviews, music recordings, and quotes

And here's the German language documentary. Unfortunately, no english subtitles.

My favourite biopic is Martin Scorsese's No Direction Home (about Bob Dylan).
I will always cherish the "Judas!" moment where Bob goes on, "I don't believe you, you're a liar!" and then turns to his band and tells them to "play this one f**king loud," and it goes into the greatest performance of Like A Rolling Stone ever.
I'm glad they found that footage, my favorite live performance ever.

Beyond The Lighted Stage (Rush) is well worth seeing too - not so much a documentary, more a straight history of the band; has some great old footage of the band going right back to their college days

Great Zappa documentary:
Good choice - an excellent interview with the man, only a couple of months before his death; the BBC were also given access to his video vaults & after they showed this interview on TV they followed it with 90 minutes of never before seen live footage.

BTLS is a great film. Very informative and entertaining. The old footage is great to see.

As well as the BBC's Prog Rock Britannia and their Krautrock documentary, the BBC's Hawkwind documentary is also worth checking out. It's on Youtube in about 9 parts. Sadly Dave Brock didn't want to take part, because of a feud with Nik Turner.
