Bruce Lee - Jeet Kune Do - Training Film!!!! for all you kung fu merchants
Jeet Kune Do "Way of the Intercepting Fist", also Jeet Kun Do or JKD, is a martial arts combat system developed by martial artist and actor Bruce Lee. Jeet Kune Do (JKD) is the name Bruce Lee gave to his combat philosophy in 1967. Originally, when Lee first began research into fighting styles, he gave his martial art his own name of Jun Fan Gung Fu. However not wanting to create another style that would share the limitations that all styles have, he instead gave us the process that created it. JKD as it survives today – if one wants to view it "refined" as a product, not a process – is what was left at the time of Bruce Lee's death. It is the result of the life-long martial arts development process Lee went through. Bruce Lee stated that his concept is not an "adding to" of more and more things on top of each other to form a system, but rather, a winnowing out. The metaphor Lee borrowed from Chan Buddhism was of constantly filling a cup with water, and then emptying it, used for describing Lee's philosophy of "casting off what is useless". He also used the sculptor's mentality of beginning with a lump of clay and hacking away at the "unessentials"; the end result was what he considered to be the bare combat essentials, or JKD.

It's worth watching. It's neither a pure training film or documentary from what I could gather.
It does have some a few clips of Bruce training, with his own commentary and narration through out, and also has some additional commentary of son Brandon, and his pupil Dan Inosanto.
You'll also see his famous lost interview along with show brief moments that show some exerpts from his notes, and clips from his home videos.
If you're interested in where he got all methods from I'd recommend reading his book and finding out where he got it from. His book is mostly plagarism in all aspects of philosophy, and martial arts, but they're nonetheless still worth reading.
