The Pagemeister Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 The 12 Greatest Rock Docs By Owen Gleiberman What makes a great rock & roll documentary? It has to do with that special combination of subject matter, cinematic style, and moment. Cued to the release of Jim Jarmusch’s Iggy and the Stooges documentary, “Gimme Danger,” Variety Chief Film Critic Owen Gleiberman ranks the 12 greatest rock docs. http://variety.com/gallery/best-rock-documentaries-woodstock-bob-dylan-tupac-madonna/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I'm can't wait to see the new Jim Jarmusch Stooges documentary, "Gimme Danger". Also hear there's a new MC5 doc waiting in the wings. I'll need to see these before I weigh in with a top 10 or 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rover 75 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I enjoyed "It Might Get Loud", except for the parts with The Edge, he didn't seem to fit in well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgeholder Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 There's a great one on the Ramones, can't remember the name, I also like the earlier Bob Marley doc "Time Will Tell". The list in the first post is pretty good really. I guess I should seek out that U2 doc he raves about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
