Oh yeah! That one is on my list to see too. It reminded me of this one. The people and story are different but similar in the lost music that was rediscovered.

'Last Days Here'

I'd never heard of A Sunday in Hell! Where have I been? A great watch.

Man, Eddy and his saddle adjustments
No wonder I'm so slow, are hardly ever fuss with my saddle.

Where have you been all of your (cycling) life? I mean, how long ago did you get that Jackson? And others?

Yeah, he was notably obsessive about his setup. Not that it mattered.

Probably his way of redirecting nervous energy. At some point a savvy mechanic was probably happy to hand him a spanner rather than hear the XXXth need for a saddle adjustment.

"Dr. Strangelove"
Two Rand Corp nuclear war analyst's went to see it on release,
their conclusion, "We just saw a documentary"

Daniel Ellsberg, Rand analyst, wrote in the book "Doomsday Machine"
In the real world, there was no CRM gadget, so starting WWIII
would be easier than shown in "Dr. Strangelove"

Another vote for Meru and When We Were Kings.

20 feet from stardom about background singers is excellent.

Bolt (Usain Bolt) also quite good.

On a slightly different note:
"The Biggest Little Farm"
My wife and I loved this.

A couple are followed through their successes and failures as they work to develop a sustainable farm on 200 acres outside of Los Angeles. Over the years, the desolate they purchase begins to thrive and its transformed.

This is a good one too:

'Road To Roubaix'

Haven't seen the movie, only read the book.

I still need to see Meru and Free Solo. My wife won't be joining me to watch either ...

A musician friend of mine highly recommended this.

I too enjoyed "Riding Giants", led me to watch a slew of surf documentaries.
