Amazon has quite a few great low budget docs...
Recently watched the Mad Marc Rude documentary. Pretty low budget and mostly just interviews with people who knew him. For those who don't know, MM Rude was a legendary punk hellraiser/amazing punk artist (he did the Misfits Earth AD album and Batallion of Saints first album). Just a ton of interesting stories about drugs, violence and raging. He was an amazing artist, though.
It includes a crazy story about how he once attacked Chevy Chase on some TV variety show... Chevy came out making fun of them and according to the interviews, Mad Marc took him down. Did some online digging and that's not exactly how it went down; looks like Chevy took em on.
around 6:50 mark

Nothing too amazing.. a bunch of dudes who loved the Stooges and all got along and never OD'd; not your usual rock documentary. Interesting antidotes about Sub Pop and a stoked for a Scientists/Beasts of Bourbon mention. A little skating in it, too.
Sex Pistols 'Never Mind The Bollocks' doc.. mostly just about the recording/release of the album. Pretty interesting as it mostly focuses on music, none of the other stuff that usually accompanies other Sex Pistols doc's. Interviews with all the surviving members and there are all pretty friendly and candid and say nice things about each other, which is also different. Made me revisit how unbelievably good that album is. Fuck all that 'Sex Pistols were a boy band' shit... sure they were put together/marketed by a manager but they wrote all their own music and made one of the greatest albums, ever.
