loudQUIETloud: A Film About the Pixies (2006)
Best rock doc in years
I saw this film at the SXSW Film Fest in Austin - waited in line two hours for the pleasure - and let me tell you it was worth every minute. The film is beautiful and profound and really captures the essence of the band and life on the road in general. The Pixies are one of the all-time greats of my youth, so it's a little depressing to see them all grown up and coping with their very adult and normal lives, but on stage they rock like never before (the live footage is remarkably well shot and recorded). Off stage they don't talk much to each other, but somehow the film transcends that and really captures the essence of each of the band members individually as well as the on stage chemistry that makes them tick. Pixies fan or not, Don't miss this one.
Blood Ties: The Life and Work of Sally Mann (1994)
Sally Mann is awesome
This documentary is great. I saw it in my photo class and it is one of the best films I've seen just because Sally Mann is incredible and the filmmaker was there at the perfect time in the lives of the kids. If you have the chance to see this or rent it, I highly advise it.
