Well this falls under both music and movies, in a way.
I just finished watching the documentary I Trust You To Kill Me which follows uber-artistic Rocco Deluca and his "alternative and non-conformist rock-and-roll band", Rocco Deluca and The Burden as they go on their first European tour with self-appointed band manager, actor Kiefer Sutherland. It's on Kiefer's indie lable, Ironworks where the band signed and released their album, which is where the documentary gets its name.
This was amusement in its truest form. And that should be expected, with a synopsis quite like this.
The beginning made me slightly anxious for some reason, I guess because you really didn't know how these rock-and-roll guys were ever going to get along with an actor. I wondered how well they really got along for a little while, but as it progressed you found yourself just generally amused.
Kiefer had no real desire for privacy, he let the cameraman go anywhere he wanted. From his escape around the city handing out concert tickets, to the never-ending search for a lost cellphone. This guy's human, and that's something really unusual, but incredibly refreshing.
I enjoyed the music of Rocco Deluca and the Burden before I saw the documentary, but now I have an even deeper appreciation for the band members and Rocco himself. He exudes an artistic passion in every moment of his day-to-day life, and you can feel it in the music he plays.
So anyway. This is definitely recommended, a very unique experience ;D

Where did you watch this? Youtube? Or do you have it as a file on your computer that you could send?

No, I actually got the dvd off Netflix ;D They might have it at Blockbuster, not sure. It was on VH1 a few weeks ago, but I can't find any listings on TVGuide. They might show it again sometime
