What are your favorite Rockumentaries?

Post by DiabloS » Mon Aug 29, 2011 1:26 pm

I'm addicted to watching rockumentaries or stuff like Behind the Music, Classic Albums, etc. and I'm starting to run out of ideas, I'm wondering if there are any out there that you guys can recommend that I haven't seen yet. Here are just a few of my favorites:

It Might Get Loud
Such Hawks Such Hounds
Metal: A headbanger's Journey
Back and Forth
Lemmy
Hail Hail Rock N Roll
The whole Classic Albums Series
Seven Ages of Rock
The Decline of Western Civilization

Currently own:

Used to own:

Rocker 30

I suppose it might depend on whether you are trying to stay within a certain genre e.g. classic rock. If not then obviously the number of potential offerings expands greatly...

The Filth & The Fury (Sex Pistols)
Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage

And, despite the ubiquity of Beatles-related material over the years, the Anthology is still fascinating and vital stuff since it contains so many first-person interviews and long-form reminiscences.

Phish's Bittersweet Motel is pretty cool. I don't know if Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii would qualify, but what a great movie. Not familiar with some of the ones mentioned by the OP- I'll try to check those out.
