I'm hardly watching regular movies anymore. I set these apart from Moment in Time docs (I Am Trying to Break Yer Heart, Spinal Tap) or concert films.

 

Some of the best:

 

Beatles Anthology

Devil and Daniel Johnston

Be Here to Love Me (TVZ)

We Jam Econo (Minutemen)

Fearless Freaks (Flaming Lips)

No Direction Home (Dylan)

End of the Century (Ramones)

 

Any others out there about which I should know?

Although the music is a sideline to the whole story,"It Was 20 Years Ago Today" has to be one of the definitive docs of the whole sixties 'rock/drugs/politics' scene.Essential viewing,imo.

I've not seen that DCFC film, is it any good Rich? I thought it was just a live concert?

 

I can second We Jam Econo - great documentary, the No Direction Home film is great too, really sparked a second interest in Dylan for me and the Filth and the Fury.

I don't have many others but the Clash one, Westway To The World, is brilliant.

I wonder what the other disc has got on it? Maybe those outtakes that were leaked a while back.

 

This reminds me that I forgot to say Eat The Document as a great music doc. I much prefer it to Don't Look Back which I find a little hard to watch at times, because, to me, Dylan acts like a tosser in it pretty much most of the time.

Gimme Shelter - The Rolling Stones

It is great documentary that showcases the raw talent of the Stones during the Mick Taylor era. The only bad thing about the doc is seeing the killing that took place to with one of the hell angels and a young african american. But the killing as the documentary shows it is, is almost a symbolic ending to the 60's.
