My research has yielded the correct title for the HBO documentary film in question: Marina Abramović: The Artist is Present.

Ahhh.
I saw that one too, although I could not stand it. Too intense.

(Your previously suggested title did encapsulate what happened to me during the viewing.)

Thin, the documentary about women in a rehab for eating disorders currently being shown on HBO, was great. Recommended.

An interesting doc about the death penalty in China, but also a strong indictment of a cruelly ambitious TV personality:

Death Row Interviews (BBC Documentary - 2013)

[Joe Rogaine]

Yeah I get teary eyed everytime they end with the "Give me a boy of 7 and I will show you the man"(or something like that). They're all on Netflix Instant I need to rewatch.

Another reason for me to get Netflix.

You should definitely get Netflix Instant.

I can't recommend this highly enough (and if you're a fan of Tarantino, you'll have fun picking up on some of the things he stole from it):

American Boy - Martin Scorsese 1/6

I definitely recommend A Band Called Death. It's pretty slow going for the first half hour or forty minutes but really comes to life after that.

Does it have them playing any new stuff in it? I really would feal bad for them if they get their hopes up by the end of the film.

As an introductory device to a course on how to hate everybody I recommend this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_the_Steal_(2009_film)

See a bunch of super-sheltered, pretentious art-types writhe in pain as they lose control of a wonderful collection art to corrupt politicians, charity-types and socialites with the effect that the art can finally be seen by the public at large which the crabby collector did not intend because he wanted to stick it to the Philadelphia establishment.

Great documentary, although it has a clear bent, but the people in it are the worst.

There is a new Panorama documentary on the Anni Dewani murder called "The Honeymoon Murder. Who Killed Anni?".
There already was a documentary on the case, I guess also by the BBC, but now the whole case file has been leaked and Panorama acquired it.
If you still recall the case, this might be very interesting for you.
