There's a really great one called Dig! that follows the Dandy Warhols and their friends the Brian Jonestown Massacre for a period of years and chronicles the differences between the careers of the two bands. While the Dandy's are fighting with their label, shooting videos, etc, the Jonestown Massacre are fighting with each other, having all sorts of drug related breakdowns and other such things.

The kicker is that the leader of each band admires and respects the hell out of the other and that's another part of it too. It's a brilliant movie and totally worth picking up.

7 Ages of Rock is bullshit. There's too many holes in their description in of the history of Rock music. For example, how can you talk about the birth of the genre without mentioning Jimi Hendrix, Chuck Berry, The Beatles, Little Richard, etc.?

Oh yes, and you absolutely must see the complete history of the greatest Punk band of all time, as told by the band and colleagues themselves.




Oh yes, and the great documentary about the creators of British Punk:

It played on IFC over the weekend. I was a bit disappointed by the film but the message is a strong one.
