Hated Ladies & Gentleman The Fabulous Stains except for Ray Winstones performance. Just silly.
I prefer(not including any documentaries)
Sid and Nancy
Smithereens
Repo Man
I like 24 hour party people. I don’t know of anything else.
This really is an anemic subgenere, but I’d say
24 Hour Party People
and
Repo Man would top my list.
Maybe an honorable mention for Julian Temple’s Great Rock & Roll Swindle and its bookend, the Filth & The Fury
Would “Control” count as a punk rock movie (or would you just call that a biopic?). If so, I’d include that.
Its all about Burst City.
I wouldn’t really consider 24 Hour Party People and Control punk. Joy Division was more of post punk band not really punk.
There haven’t been five good non-documentary punk rock movies. That said:
Over the Edge
The Decline of Western Civilization
The Year Punk Broke
Hated
Rock ’n Roll High School (stupid, but fun)
End of the Century
I haven’t seen We Jam Econo yet. I would imagine it’s pretty good.
Kill Yr Idols (No-Wave technically, but it feels like ‘punk filmmaking’ if it ever existed)
Electric Dragon 80,000 V
Control
24 Hour Party People
This is a really specific subgenre.
Jake-Great movies but not really punk-Joy Division was a post punk band but not really punk.
Jubilee (the best, the one, la créme de la créme of punk cinema, period)
Radio On (1980 – Chris Petit -Best “New Wave” film ever…..)
Meantime (1984 – Mike Leigh)
A Clockwork Orange
Syd & Nancy
24 hour party people (somehow)
Taxi Driver (somehow)
Quadrophenia (somehow)
The Smithereens (somehow)
After Hours (somehow)
The Decline of Western Civilization
Etc, etc, etc…
Return of the Living Dead
“we jam econo” is every bit as inspiring as the minutemen were back in the day. watt just being watt is worth the price of admission.
Dogs in Space (by far)
Urgh! A Music War
The Great Rock n Roll Swindle
Rock n Roll High School
Sid & Nancy

What he said. The dramatic bits aren’t so special, but you get The Clash live, lots, and The Clash were one of the finest bands ever.
Not a punk movie, but an indie one, and a great one of those: Athens Georgia: Inside Out – very very good. You’ve got footage of The B52s when they were actually wild as hell, Pylon (one of the other finest bands ever), The Bar-B-Q Killers (deranged; a future Jesus Lizard was involved), The Method Actors, a raft of other D.I.Y.’ers, future rock stars (R.E.M.), and the late great Howard Finster to top it all off.
X- the Unheard Music
The Decline of Western Civilization
Suburbia (Penelope Spheeris)
There’s no way in the world I could ever convince myself to go see ‘What we do is secret’.
‘American hardcore’, book sucks, film is fantastic. Bummer it skips alot of bands, but the footage alone is worth the buy.
The Future is Unwritten is a really great doc. Has anyone seen Hedwig and the Angry Inch? I’ve had that recommended to me.
‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch’ is terrible/great, haha. ’’I’m like the Berlin wall, youu can’t tear me down!’’
Yep, Hedwig and the Angry Inch is indeed terrible/great.
Some say the Driller Killer others say Liquid Sky I say The Filth and the Fury.
Brothers of the Head? I didn’t see the whole thing but it seemed to be at least partially about punk.
American Hardcore, book AND movie, both suck. Fun footage, sure, but they don’t even come close to covering the bulk of hardcore, and the parts they ignored they just pretend didn’t exist.
