Looking for good movies about artists...

I am looking for movies about artists. Two of my favorites are "Pollock" and "American Splendor". I am interested in documentaries and dramas... or just about anything inspiring and about art. Do you have any favorites? Recommedations? Or even warnings about movies that are a waste of time?

Some that come to my mind are Artemisia and Vincent and Theo.  I also like the A&E series on the Impressionists that they did a few years back.   I find that series very inspiring. :)

movies about artists

I recently watched Rivers and Tides, which is a documentary by, and about, a contemporary artist named Andy Goldsworthy.  It's very different from the others mentioned.  He is a sculptor who creates transitory art outdoors using ice, driftwood, stones,etc.  Quirky, but pretty interesting.
