YES nice one Lucera

I saw the Buena Vista Social Club one too, very good, really enjoyed it. f**k it, can you show Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas too? Make a night of it, get some bands, good light show... he he a gonzo tribute to the good doctor! (you could have a dark rum promotion too! hmmmm im really liking this idea)

actor/director d**kie Rude has made a documentary about Joe Strummer called 'Lets Rock Again'. Its only had a few screenings last year in the US and the general cinema/DVD release has been delayed apprently cause of an argument over the licence to the music on the movie. Its supposed to be really great judging from the reports in the US that Ive heard. Its all based around the last tour of the US he did with The Mescaleros, part road movie/part documentary. Cant wait to see that myself.

my vote also goes to Feat And Loathing. I think showing movies in bars/clubs can be a bit dodgy. I would prefer to have the movies as background visuals and the usual tunes playing on the soundsystem or whatever. Having the dialogue from movies can be a bit disconcerting, whereas I can think of nothing better than kicking back in a bar with some good music playing and fear and loathing playing on the big screen. Or other visually intesting documentaries or music: Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, Waynes World, Dogtown and The Z Boys etc.

Dogtown, is that the surfing/skate boarding documentary? saw that a while back by accident, really enjoyed it, very interesting.

yeah, that's the one. Stacy Peralta, the guy who made it has another one about big wave surfing called 'Riding Giants' which is just SO good. And Larry Clarke (the GOD himself) has a new flick in the works about skater kids called Wassup Rockers. Keep your ear to the ground for that one. Dogtown is one of the best documentaries on skating out there, it's just dealt with so brilliantly. I'd recommend anyone even with a passing interest in skating or skate culture to check it out. A movie is actually being made of Dogtown and the Z Boys which is kind of weird. it's called 'Lords of Dogtown' and is out in the States in June. The BBC did this cool doc in the 70's on skating and surfing too. Cant remember what it was called, but it was Dogtown era stuff, saw it late at night on TV a few weeks ago.

I'd have to vote for Scratch as well. Dogtown and Z-Boys and Riding Giants are both class but my favourite sports documentary is When We Were Kings.

just saw there that there is a new documentary on The Flaming Lips called "The Fearless Freaks" id say that would be quite good, chappy started filming themin '90 before they took off, and when no one ever thought they would.

Pavement 'Slow Century' Fugazi 'Instrument'

Definitely the WILCO documentary. Its very interesting, quality music and has some funny bits aswell. Argument between Jay Bennet and Jeff Tweedy is comical. Actually, Jay Bennet turns out to be the star of the show before they kick him out. "I think we need to beef up my tone a bit", amazin!

From the suggestions in this thread I discovered 'Buena Vista Social Club', 'End Of The Century: The Story Of The Ramones', 'Scratch' and 'Dogtown And Z-Boys'. All were really excellent. I'm looking forward to the Flaming Lips one now and will try to get the one on Wilco. Will the Temple Bar Music Centre be showing some of these? If so, when?

got the Wilco one at the weekend, fantastic stuff. The bonus DVD is great too.

i heard the metallica one is supposed to be very good too. Haven't seen it and not a fan, (Lars Ullrich has to be the biggest gimp in rock!) but it is supposed to be very entertaining, and there are plenty of Metallica fans about...
