I also want to say that I'm not much of a watcher of things, but the two climbing documentaries I've watched recently, both at your suggestion, have left me in a substantially better mood after watching them while wretchedly sleep-deprived and unable to enjoy most of my usual activities.
I've already been reccing this at Rachel, but I will add my rec for A Line Across The Sky, a medium-length film in which Tommy and Alex go on an adventure in Patagonia which is one of my favourite climbing films ever, and which is currently watchable free online:
(Content note: passing use of "r****ded" as an insult and "ghetto" to mean scrappy improvisional stuff.)
Gorgeouus scenery, amazing climbing, and most of all, delightful character comedy. Totally accessible to non-climbers -- pre-Dawn Wall and Free Solo, this is the one I was most likely to show non-climbing friends because I thought they'd enjoy it.

(I hope the sleep-deprivation lets up soon.)
