Aguirre

Despite the scenic intro, this can get a bit boring. Atmospheric, sure but there's a lag between each scene where something actually happens. Quite obvious that Apocalypse Now owes a lot to this, only as far as the boat trip up the river. The ending is good, full of unsatisfied hubris. Quite like this but not so sure of its entertainment value.

The Punk Rock Movie

Don Letts' seminal documentary. Crap 35mm picture quality and sound but hey! it's punk so who cares. I liked the Alternative TV reggae jam, the X Ray Spex live performance and Wayne County live best. Captures the short lifespan of the Roxy Club, where most of the influential Brit punks played. Tries a bit hard to be shocking, though, and I can do without the shooting-up and self-mutilation scenes. But the ambience and the feel of 70s punk is captured.
