A pillar for contemporary documentary. Fly-on-the-wall style servers this standoffish doc well.
Groundbreaking music doco has many insights to the end of an era. No Angel born in hell...sacrificial rite. Jagger laughing with delight?

Great documentary about one of the biggest rock bands ever. Takes a wild turn as it did in real life. Great stuff, very memorable

It's 1974. Muhammad Ali is 32 and thought by many to be past his prime. George Foreman is ten years younger and the heavyweight champion of the world. Promoter Don King wants to make a name for himself and offers both fighters five million dollars apiece to fight one another, and when they accept, King has only to come up with the money.

King.
This movie chronicles the life and times of R. Crumb. Robert Crumb is the cartoonist/artist who drew Keep On Truckin', Fritz the Cat, and played a major pioneering role in the genesis of underground comix. Through interviews with his mother, two brothers, wife, ex-wife and ex-girlfriends, as well as selections from his vast quantity of graphic art, we are treated to a darkly comic ride through one man's subconscious mind.
