The Beales of Grey Gardens -- From Grey Gardens filmmakers Albert and David Maysles comes a tribute to the eccentric East Hampton recluses (and counterculture icons) Big and Little Edie Beale, and to their landmark documentary's legions of fans. Salesman -- Four relentless door-to-door salesmen deal with constant rejection, homesickness and inevitable burnout as they go across the country selling very expensive bibles to low-income Catholic families. Gimme Shelter -- A harrowing documentary of the Stones' 1969 tour, with much of the focus on the tragic concert at Altamont.
