I watched this documentary, and started scouring the web for other documentaries. Some highlights:

Punk Britannia Pt 3: Post-Punk
http://vimeo.com/45094638
* Way too short to be thorough, and focuses on the UK only, but good for what it is.

The Height of Goth: 1984: A Night at the Xclusiv Nightclub: Batley, West Yorkshire UK

* This is not a goth documentary, but just random footage from a nightclub playing postpunk and new wave. You gotta check this out, just for the face paint and poof hairdos, and the tunes! The mix is all over the place: New Order, Smiths, Echo, Siouxsie, Echo, Psych Furs, Monkees (???), Killing Joke.

Pump Up the Volume

* Good documentary about house music.
