just about to post this
Modest mouse P4K documentary is excellent as well
The Rutles - All You Need Is Cash
It's the funniest mockumentary ever made. Featuring members of 70s SNL and Monty Python spoofing The Beatles. The real George Harrison also has a breif role.
>>63660553
Wow, just saw the trailer, gonna watch that for sure.
How old were they in 1991 ?
>>63660341
Beware of mr baker
I recently watched:
Instrument (Fugazi)
Punk Attitude(2005) - talks about the history of punk and how it developed
Breadcrumb trail(2004) - Really recomended for Slint fans
1991 - the Year Punk Rock Broke
Also Movie docs:
Get on Up (about James Brown)
Walk the Line( about Johnny Cash)
this was great
Theory of obscurity came out recently
if into electronic music these are pretty fun:
Its all gone Pete Tong
& Berlin Calling about Paul Kalkbrenner
A BEER DAMMIT A BEER
>>63661140
Fuck, how could I have forgotten What We Do Is Secret?
>>63661091
>Berlin Calling about Paul Kalkbrenner
this film got me into techno
most people I know shit on paul but I think his old stuff is pretty good
The doors
>>63660838
Around 20 i think.
It had issues, but Velvet Goldmine was pretty good for people that love Bowie, Iggy Pop, and Glam. I'm Not There, by the same director, was a pretty interesting take on Dylan.
>>63660571
Also this x1000, hugely overlooked cult hit right there
CPT
