80s metal documentaries

I'm looking for 80s metal documentaries similar to Decline of Western Civilization Part II, if there are any. Long form or short form.

There was one that was just released a few months ago. Bugger if I can't remember the name of it...

Also, it would be great if we could some of VH1's "Behind the Music" band documentaries on DVD. The Pantera one fantastic.

Music licensing would likely be prohibitive in releasing these, though.

Metal: A Headbanger's Journey just came out. Pretty good.

I'm awaiting "Get Thrashed".

There's a decent short one on the Little Nicky DVD.

Heavy Metal Parking Lot is great. I second the idea of VH1 Behind the Music on dvd. They released dvd versions of the Blondie and Megadeth episodes, both of which are now OOP. Not sure what was on the Blondie one, but the Megadeth disc was extended and uncensored, and also included bonus interviews. Wish they all got the deluxe treatment- I'd snap up a bunch of them in a heartbeat.
