Can You Document That?

Music related documentaries...all those in favor, say aye.
AYE! I would be interested to know some other opinions on great music documentaries.



Two come to mind, right away...
I Am Trying To Break Your Heart, which captures Wilco's efforts to be humans, be friends, be creative and record an album (without killing each other) and Style Wars, an amazing chronicle of the Hip Hop Scene as it started to bubble up from the subway tunnels in NYC, circa 1982. You would be hard pressed to find a more honest effort about graffiti, break dancing and MCs & DJs in an urban landscape...true originals. (they're getting harder and harder to find)



The double disc DVD, which is distributed by Plexifilm, is packed with all kinds of highlights, including footage of "tagged" subway trains, galleries and interviews of some of NYC's graffiti artist hall of famers.

So, add a comment.....let me know what other films fall in the "must see" category.
