The Beatles: Get Back
Nearly eight hours inside the Apple Studios sessions, offering an unprecedented look at Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr creating together one last time. A landmark restoration that redefined the band's final chapter.
Amy
A devastating Oscar-winning film pieced together from home videos and archive footage, tracing Winehouse's rise and the machinery that surrounded her. Still one of the most searing music docs ever made.
Oasis: Supersonic
Mat Whitecross charts the meteoric rise of Oasis from Burnage boys to Knebworth headliners. Full of Manc wit, brotherly warfare and a reminder of just how big Britpop got.
Meeting People Is Easy
Grant Gee's disorienting document of the OK Computer tour captures a band buckling under global success. Bleak, beautiful and unlike any other tour film.
Shane
A raucous and tender portrait of The Pogues frontman, weaving Irish history, London punk and personal ruin into something genuinely poetic. A fitting tribute to a singular songwriter.
