I got the Billy Bragg & Wilco - Man in the Sand dvd as a Christmas present. It focuses on the making of the Mermaid Avenue albums (Wilco and Bragg putting their own music to Woody's lyrics) and gives a good insight into Woody's life. I didn't know a whole lot about Woody before, and this film is excellent indeed. He apparently left lyrics to over a thousand songs before he died.
