Lords of Dogtown - No wonder it tanked at the box office- it makes the youth culture (and youths) of today look spectacularly, magnificently lame. Alive and subtle in it's storytelling, it's a fine cautionary tale about the evils of the almighty dollah mixed with some mighty fine skating and cool period rock music (the Z-Town boys destroying a "CHiP's" style skateboard competition by skating to Sabbath's "Iron Man" is worth the price of admission alone). Heath Ledger's Val Kilmer-as-Jim Morrison impression is also a hoot too.
No Direction Home: Bob Dylan - Scorcese's biodoc of POP CULTURE ICON Dylan is the fastest 3.5 hour documentary you will ever see; it's past/present approach is thoroughly appropriate to the past/present nature of Dylan's music and the past/present nature of the times we are living in. Essential viewing for Dylan fans, Dylan non fans, lefties, musicphiles, pop culturephiles, and for anybody who wants to understand the 60's and why things are the way things are. Basically it's essential viewing for everybody.
The Flaming Lips VOID (Video Overview in Deceleration) - Fun, fun, fun. A swell collection of Southern Psychedelic music videos / home movies mixed in 5.1 surround sound ( the next frontier for music enjoyment). I can't stop watching/listening to it.
