Just have to throw a pitch here for the movie Rivers and Tides for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. Its a movie about Andy Goldsworthy (with a Fred Frith soundtrack to boot) and it is absolutely stunning. And, from the same director and probably even more relevant to this list, is Touch the Sound which is an astounding movie about 'deaf' percussionist Evelyn Glennie (also with Fred Frith). Both are HIGHLY recommended.
