Morrissey: Who Put the M in Manchester (,  PG)
Morrissey: Who Put the M in Manchester
Brilliant concert DVD from Morrissey. The fact that it is in his hometown and on his birthday just makes it even more special.

The Smiths: The Complete Picture (1992,  Unrated)
The Smiths: The Complete Picture
The Smiths. The greatest band of the 80s, possibly the greatest band of all time, and this proves it. Here we have 13 videos from them, consisting of the few promo videos they made and some of their best known live performances. We also have 3 videos directed by Derek Jarman (The Queen Is Dead, Panic and There Is A Light That Never Goes Out). Any Smiths fans , or music fan for that matter should watch this.

Hulmerist (1990,  Unrated)
Hulmerist
A collection of Morrissey's early solo videos plus footage of fans at Morrissey's first solo gig in Wolverhampton, 1988.
All the classic early videos are here, including Suedehead, Everyday is Like Sunday and Ouija Board, Ouija Board featuring Joan Sims and Kathy Burke! The fan footage is also amazing.

Morrissey: Live in Dallas (1992,  Unrated)
Morrissey: Live in Dallas
A briiliant concert from Morrissey, from the Kill Uncle tour of 1991. Morrissey gigs are certainly wild affairs and this proves it.

New York Doll (2005,  PG-13)
10
Jubilee (1978,  R)
Jubilee
Anyone interested in British punk should watch this. Jubilee features some of the leader figures of British Punk including Adam Ant, Jordan, Little Nell, Toyah Wilcox, Wayne County, Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Slits. Bizarre, violent and weird Jubilee takes Queen Elizabeth 1st and transports her to 1978 Britain where we meet all the strange characters of the scene. Defiantly not one for everyone, you'll ethier love it or hate it, but if you are interested in Punk or obscure art movies then you have to see this.

Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars (Bowie '73 with the Spiders from Mars) (,  PG)
Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars (Bowie '73 with the Spiders from Mars)

Brilliant, Bowie at his best.

Marc Bolan, true legend.
Loved the concert footage and the tea party sequence.

A Hard Day's Night (1964,  G)
A Hard Day's Night
"Are you a Mod or a Rocker?"
"Actually I'm a Mocker"

Even if you are not a fan of The Beatles this is a highly enjoyable film. John, Paul, George and Ringo provide their own unique brand of comedy plus some classic early Beatles tunes.

24 Hour Party People (2002,  R)
24 Hour Party People
Long live the memory of Tony Wilson and the Hacienda.

Live Forever (2003,  R)
Live Forever
An entertaining look at the rise and fall of Britpop.
16
Sympathy for the Devil (One Plus One) (1968,  Unrated)
Sympathy for the Devil (One Plus One)
The director's cut of this is called "One Plus One", which is exactly what it is, footage of the Rolling Stones recording plus footage of Godard's take on 1960's politics.
If you are not interested in The Rolling Stones or are an avid Godard fan then I doubt this will be for you. Watching The Stones recording Sympathy For The Devil and seeing the track progress is interesting. Then you have the politically segments including The Black Panthers citing Black Power philosophy and shooting white women, an interview with "Eve Democracy", and finally workers of an adult bookshop whose customers leave by giving the Nazi salute.
Overall this is quite a strange film.
