Band/artist documentaries.
These types of films may not be for everyone, but I’ve been on a viewing kick recently and encourage your recommendations for all to enjoy. It’s been interesting to see the stories of the various subjects and get some great insights, stories, and entertaining anecdotes firsthand. Listed below are a few I’ve seen and can recommend. Please follow suit with yours - and enjoy!

YMMV, but having a full blown home theater set up with a 9 foot projection screen sure does enhance the experience...
Hall of Fame guitarist, John Cippolina, slipped under the radar of many, but deserves respect and consideration. RIP, Mr. Coppolina. Here are a few links to documentaries about John’s life and music: The first one is 4 minutes well spent if you want a short introduction to John’s personality, wit, and how he viewed the music industry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aV8cm9x7NA https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11115712/ |
