01
The Velvet Underground
Why this pick
Like Gimme Danger, this is a formally playful, archival-rich portrait of a foundational band, alive to the collision between music, downtown art, and unruly personality.

02
The Filth and the Fury
Why this pick
A punk-history counterpart with a more confrontational pulse, blending candid recollection and charged footage to preserve the Sex Pistols’ volatility without tidying up their myth.
03
Rude Boy
Why this pick
This semi-fictional Clash film has the same unvarnished proximity to a band and its scene, capturing live energy and the ragged texture of late-1970s punk culture.
04
Dig!
Why this pick
Its long-term, intimate access turns competing rock bands into a tense study of friendship, ego, ambition, and self-destruction—messy in the way great music documentaries should be.
05
The Devil and Daniel Johnston
Why this pick
An inventive collage of home recordings, drawings, and testimony that shares Jarmusch’s affection for singular musical voices while offering a more vulnerable, psychologically intimate portrait.
