If you’re looking for something to watch this weekend, Thrillist has a list of the best music documentaries available on Netflix right now. Be sure to check out these amazing rock docs from their list:
George Harrison: Living in the Material World (2011)
“This three-hour-and-28-minute doc explores every facet of Harrison’s quirky personality, and makes the case that his cultural impact — as an underrated Beatles songwriter, a vivid solo performer, a movie producer (and the reason most of us Americans know Monty Python) and a pioneer in the realm of benefit concerts — can’t be denied.”
History of the Eagles (2013)
“Perhaps the ultimate dad band, the Eagles went full-on bloat for this three-hour (yes!) documentary in which the viewer learns that these dudes take themselves VERY seriously.”
Keith Richards: Under the Influence (2015)
“If there ever was a quintessential rock star, it may as well be Keith Richards. The Rolling Stones’ guitarist had his heyday in the rock and roll-, drug-, and sex-entrenched ’60s and ’70s, but this documentary proves he’s just as interesting and still on a high — albeit an emotional one — today.”
Metallica: Some Kind of Monster (2004)
“In the early 2000s, Metallica took the drastic step of hiring a therapist to help them work through the (many, many) intrapersonal issues they’d built up after spending more than a decade together. The resulting album, St. Anger, famously inspired divided opinions (what the hell is going on with those drums?), but the documentary is a masterpiece.”
When You’re Strange (2009)
“Chances are if you’re a fan of the Doors, you’ve seen the Oliver Stone-directed, Val Kilmer-led 1991 biopic about the band. But if you’re a real Doors aficionado, you probably felt the film didn’t accurately represent Jim Morrison like friends of his expressed upon the film’s release. If that’s the case, When You’re Strange is more likely the film about the “Light My Fire” group for you.”
