02
The Runaways
Why this pick
Its raw, stylised portrait of teenage rock ambition shares Sid & Nancy’s abrasive music-scene energy, toxic dependencies, and sense of fame accelerating private damage.
03
24 Hour Party People
Why this pick
This is a more playful, self-aware trip through another British post-punk scene, retaining the DIY chaos, damaged personalities, and music-history immediacy that surround Sid & Nancy.
04
The Rose
Why this pick
For the same bruising view of stardom, addiction, and an artist pushed beyond endurance, this delivers a fierce central performance and emotionally punishing rock-and-roll melancholy.
05
Candy
Why this pick
Its romance is similarly all-consuming and dangerous: two lovers turn devotion into mutual ruin, told with a heightened, tender-then-harrowing emotional intensity.
