Michael Jackson's This is It

The music documentary, Michael Jackson's This is It, has a limited run in theaters right now. Directed by Kenny Ortega, it's a behind-the-scenes look at the preparations for Jackson's planned London show, before his untimely death a few months ago.  It includes archival footage as well as interviews, all attesting to the enormous power of Jackson the performer and Jackson the person.
While being a Jackson fan probably adds to an audience member's enjoyment, anyone can appreciate the enormous talent: he was a marvelous singer, a gifted dancer, a consummate showman.  What a loss.
