Road (2014)
The world's most dangerous sport.
This is a powerful and very moving film excellently and subtly narrated by Liam Neeson. The film is about 2 sets of brothers, Joey (Yer Maun) & Robert Dunlop and Robert's sons William & Michael. These men are probably the greatest motorcycle road racers of all time. Motorcycle road racing is without doubt one of the most dangerous sports in the world today where even the smallest error can be fatal. This movie captures some amazing and thrilling footage of the riders in action on Irish country roads and on the legendary Isle Of Man TT Course, there are also many fascinating interviews with the riders, their families, friends and their mechanics. This can at times be a hard movie to watch, it's hard not to shed a tear at some of the incidents shown. Liam Neson's narration is of the "less is more" variety, intelligently it lets the riders and the pictures do the talking. A must see, even for those who are not fans of motor sport.
The Last Waltz (1978)
Great MUSIC
An unmissable classic. Great music played with power & passion, musicians on top of their game, the great Muddy Waters performing a marvellous version of Mannish Boy, Rick Danko's vocal on Stagefright, Levon Helm's throaty roar on The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, This is Rock music at it's very best.
The first thing you see on screen is 'This film should be played loud' and so it must, turn the volume up and enjoy some amazing performances from some of the greatest artists of all time. One of strong points of this movie is the wide variety of musical styles and so if you appreciate diversity in music this is a movie for all music lovers.
