Legendary and enigmatic UK street artist Banksy's film Exit Through the Gift Shop, is a fascinating look at the world of underground art.  Whether the story is true or not is a subject of debate, regardless, the film is one of the most captivating and entertaining documentaries I have seen of late.  I hope Banksy doesn't stop here.
