It's a really shitty movie, but I remember like 10 years ago there was some Andy Samberg? movie where they start a garage band and become famous. The bass player was some qt waifu or some shit.

I personally like Sogo Ishii's stuff, though it's not documentaristic in the slightest.
>Burst City - Japanese post-apoc cyberpunk about mutant biker gangs, mostly played by actual punk musicians in the Japanese scene of the time
youtube.com
>Halber Mensch - essentially, a hour-long music video encompassing the entirety of Einstürzende Neubauten's Halber Mensch (if I remember correctly), recorded during a tour in Japan, cyberpunk again because why the fuck not
youtube.com
>Electric Dragon 80.000v - supposedly directed in order to be used as a video background during the concerts of Ishii's own noise punk band MACH 1.67, probably one of the most hyperkinetic (and purely fun) films of the last twenty years, while also sporting a fucking great OST

Other than that, I'd recommend Werner Herzog's Gesualdo - Death for Five Voices. It's a fiction/non-fiction hybrid documentary (you know what I mean if you enjoy Herzog) about a deranged, yet groundbreaking, Italian composer and the castle in which he lived. Not Herzog's greatest docu, but a good way to spend a hour.

I agree New Order has some absolute bangers, but Joy Division had a tone of its own separate from New Order, I can appreciate the two eras independently.
Joy Division = The Romans
New Order = The Byzantines
Anthony Clark
Michael Phillips
New Order would be closer to modern Italy in that example.
Colton Howard
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is the best movie of this kind.
Luke Butler
Agreed
Lucas Lopez
Dig! Blur documentary No Distance left to Run, Scorsese's Harrison and Dylan docs.

If we're doing documentaries then:
I Am Trying To Break Your Heart (Wilco) [Extremely recommended; shows many facets of recording, internal creative band struggles, and record label disputes]
We Jam Econo (The Minutemen)
Devil and Daniel Johnston
You're Gonna Miss Me (Roky Erikson)
The Pitchfork Classics documentaries on The Soft Bulletin, The Lonesome Crowded West, and Souvlaki
Such Hawks, Such Hounds (The underground hard rock/stoner rock/doom metal scene)
Live From Tokyo (Varied underground experimental music scene in Tokyo)
