Metal rock documentaries
 
What is your favorite metal rock documentary? I did see the Anvil one & then caught one last weekend on VH1 for an hour or so that I liked. I realize Rush isn't Metal, but that was a very well done documentary "Beyond the lighted stage".

Decline of Western Civilization PART 2, was pretty damn good.

'Beyond the Lighted Stage' was an amazing piece. I'm really happy to have seen that.

What about 'It Might Get Loud' with Jack White, The Edge, and Jimmy Page?

American Hardcore was decent but not great IMO. It was pretty uneven and completely ignored some important bands.

VH1's "Behind The Music", has some good documentaries.

There's this one about a metal band in Iraq that I have yet to see but looks really good.

They did one on Pantera that was pretty good.

I don't think Spinal Tap qualifies, and if it did, Electric Apricot is better.

Metal: A Headbanger's Journey was really good, I especially liked the "web" or map of metal bands.
Heavy Metal in Baghdad was pretty good as well, has a very good story. Flight 666 by Iron Maiden is still one of favorites, the people I watched it with found it boring, but then again they did not like the band.
