"The Art of The Steal" - well made (but very one-sided) documentary about the Barnes collection, one of the most valuable private art collections in the world, and the legal wranglings that have essentially torn apart the trust meant to protect the collection and given the art to the Philadelphia Museum of art.

Also, if it comes to an art house near you, I highly recommend "The Yellow Handkerchief". Some great performances by William Hurt, Maria Bello, and Kristin Stewart (that's right, I used "great performance" and "Kristin Stewart" together), fantastic cinematography, and great use of post-Katrina Louisiana.
