INXS: Live Baby Live Similar Movies

Movie | United Kingdom | 07/13/1991 | Documentary

INXS fans can rejoice over the release of this buoyant concert film, shot during an ecstatic performance before 72,000 hopping fans in London's Wembley Stadium on July 13, 1991. The Australian band's vocalist, the late Michael Hutchence, is at his feral-romantic best, stalking and swiveling his way through an energized set of welterweight pop. The show starts with a big, boomy Guns in the Sky, takes a turn toward unexpected soulfulness with New Sensation, and spreads the wealth with a sharp set of ballads and rockers. Hutchence has fun with a naughty Know the Difference, plays around with a Jagger-esque take on confessional soul in The Loved One, and milks Never Tear Us Apart for all it's worth. The band sounds more muscular than they did in the studio, hard-charging and rough on Suicide Blonde, drunk on a jazzy guitar hook in Need You Tonight, and completely danceable on Bitter Tears.

25x5: The Continuing Adventures of the Rolling Stones

Movie | United Kingdom | 12/03/1993 | Documentary

The Rolling Stones emerged in the summer of 1963 as the so-called \bad boys\ antidote to the Beatles, a characterization that became one of the foundations of modern rock 'n' roll. In the 25 years that followed, the Stones have succeeded in outraging, mystifying, confusing yet always inspiring their fans. 25 X 5: The Continuing Adventures of The Rolling Stones is the first time that the Stones have gone on camera to tell their own story. Over two hours of devastatingly frank narratives by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, and Ron Wood are underscored by rare interview segments with Brian Jones and Mick Taylor, and rare and never-before-seen archival film, video, and newsreel footage.

The Living Dead: Three Films About The Power of the Past

Movie | United Kingdom | 06/12/1995 | Documentary

Subtitled 'Three Films About the Power of the Past', The Living Dead was the second major documentary series made by British film-maker Adam Curtis. This documentary investigates the way that history and memory (both national and individual) have been used by politicians and others. Adam Curtis' trademark narration, filled with subtle irony and underplayed astonishment, is, as usual, complemented by a hodge-podge of historical film clips, frequently creating playful, chilling, and absurd associations. In The Living Dead, his usual obscure fragments from the BBC's film archives are bolstered by clips from German vampire movies, American Cold-War thrillers, and British ghost stories. The past, he tells us through this weird montage, is best not forgotten, lest it reassert itself on an amnesiac population.
