I remember enjoying a documentary about Aleister Crowley entitled "The Wickedest Man in the World" but I can't find the link right now.
Here's one about fairies: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzeGkx_5Uuk I think this is the documentary where they interview a harpist, a painter, and I think a Hungarian shaman?
Speaking of shamanism, this isn't really a documentary, but: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQYvFvmkvvU (Note thought the shamanism is an outdated anthropological term).
They've been informative, but not particularly practical. I think most documentaries are going to be funded by people who take a historical or "human interest" approach to magic. Not so much the how-tos like documentaries about human physiology or space travel.
Actually, why not watch science documentaries instead?
Here's one on parallel universes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6XMkapGgBo
Here's one about the relationship between energy and matter, which is the reason I don't believe anymore that magic is energy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4vDGTYTCLo
If you can find any videos of interviews with Joseph Campbell the mythologist, then we'll be on the same page, but of course it depends on your interests.

There are some very good documentaries, but it must be understood that videos and movies can be faked!
The biggest historical "fake" was of fairies. If you've never seen it, you will be gob-smacked! Look it up on Google,
"The Cottingley Fairies".
There's some good documentaries on Salem and the history of paganism, but spell casting, you might want to look for videos by users in the pagan YouTube community. There's a few I watch I really like but I don't know how much help they could be for you because the ones I watch don't talk much about casting. If you want a list of pagan youtubers I could give you a few usernames.
