Triumph of the Nerds is amazing. Some of Steve Jobs' best quotes come from there. It's interesting to see in historical context as well - Microsoft was still on top, and Apple was going through hard times.
I was an engineer at Netscape through the period this documentary covers and it's one of my favorite (though bittersweet) documentaries. I wasn't involved in the development side, so my involvement with most of those featured was quite limited, but . . . what a great piece. I'd also couple it with (what I'm sure has been mentioned elsewhere, but I've not read that far, yet) Revolution OS ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjaC8Pq9-V0 ).
it's a documentary about josh harris- mostly his startups after jupiter. pseudo.com, and a bunch of people living underground.
the beginning covers a bit of the early nyc scene in general as well. pretty cool movie if you take it for what it's worth. jason calacanis and fred wilson both make appearances.

Also not a documentary (and exaggerated in parts), but I've always had a soft spot for Pirates of Silicon Valley. It's a good watch.

I've seen a few episodes of Startup Junkies (http://www.hulu.com/start-up-junkies). It's not the greatest but fairly entertaining.
Also, Indie Game: The Movie seems pretty interesting. I'm not sure when it'll be out though. http://www.indiegamethemovie.com/
