I'm addicted to watching rockumentaries or stuff like Behind the Music, Classic Albums, etc. and I'm starting to run out of ideas, I'm wondering if there are any out there that you guys can recommend that I haven't seen yet. Here are just a few of my favorites:

It Might Get Loud
Such Hawks Such Hounds
Metal: A headbanger's Journey
Back and Forth
Lemmy
Hail Hail Rock N Roll
The whole Classic Albums Series
Seven Ages of Rock
The Decline of Western Civilization

THIS IS SPINAL TAP!
It might get loud
The last waltz - although this is more concert than rockumentary but there are some good interviews in there
Red White and Blues

I suppose it might depend on whether you are trying to stay within a certain genre e.g. classic rock. If not then obviously the number of potential offerings expands greatly...

The Filth & The Fury (Sex Pistols)
Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage

And, despite the ubiquity of Beatles-related material over the years, the Anthology is still fascinating and vital stuff since it contains so many first-person interviews and long-form reminiscences.

Spinal Tap and It Might Get Loud are incredible. the others can't touch 'em.

Spinal Tap
It might Get Loud
Beyond the lighted stage
A Bob Dylan one that for the life of me can't remember the name right now, but it is loaded with footage from his drummer back in the day.

I've started Spinal Tap 3 different times (netflix) but never finished it...

the wife will not abide it...

This is Spinal Tap!

and

The Rutles!

I'll go ahead and mention "Some Kind Of Monster" now ...

Fuzz
Lemmy
Peter Green: Man of the World
Running Down a Dream (Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers)
any Rory Gallagher doc

Phish's Bittersweet Motel is pretty cool. I don't know if Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii would qualify, but what a great movie. Not familiar with some of the ones mentioned by the OP- I'll try to check those out.

This is Spinal Tap
Bad News Tour ...(the British equivalent spoof)
Some Kind of Monster (thanks Randy I'd forgotten the title )

Joy Division (the self titled documentary) Watch it right before watching "Control" for the ultimate depressed feeling.
The Clash: Westway To The World
The Sex Pistols: The Filth and the Fury
End of the Century: The Ramones
Decline of Western Civilization, Part 1 (I don't care for metal so I haven't watched part 2)
We Jam Econo : The Story of the Minutemen
I Need That Record! (about the dwindling independent record stores, focused on one store specifically)

Can you tell what kind of music I like?

This Is Spinal Tap!
It Might Get Loud
Letters from a Porcupine
Hype
