5. Metallica: Some Kind of Monster (Paramount)

Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky's unsparing 2004 documentary may be the best film ever made about the dark side of the creative process. Alienated from one another, burned-out and bass-player-less, Metallica reconvened in 2001 for the slow, grinding work of making St. Anger, with a full-time shrink encouraging them to talk about their feelings. Most hair-raising scene: Lars Ulrich's father informing his son that his new song sucks.
