Paul Verhoeven: From Holland to Hollywood (1996)
Very insightful BBC documentary about Paul Verhoeven, tracking his career up to Showgirls. The programme focuses on talks with Verhoeven, but also includes interviews with many of the people who worked with him, both from the US and Holland, and even his wife. Also has a lot of behind the scenes footage from the set of Showgirls. Verhoeven is very open about the way he works, the themes in his movies and his life. He also interprets his own work in a very frank and intelligent way and, as always, is a gas.

Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
