The Last Waltz is a gorgeous documentary. (I would say rockumentary if I didn't despise that term.) I've loved Van the Man's music from an early age; I have a vivid memory of seeing a picture of him from the '80s and realizing for the first time that not all rock gods look like rock gods -- some look like drunken Irishmen. Which is a-okay with me if they produce Moondance.

EDIT: In a somewhat similar vein to The Last Waltz and Don't Look Back, have you seen footage of the Concert for George? One of the best lineups of musicians in one place ever, and feat. McCartney on the uke. Here's another favorite moment, never been sure why. So much to like from that night.
