5 Best Punk Movies of all time.
So I was reading a certain publication and there is a big section about movies with great music soundtracks or movies based on bands and/or their music. They have a number of 'Top 5" lists as well as a list of the 50 greatest rock soundtracks of all time, which I plan to use as fodder for another weekly (or is it weakly) posting.
Anyway, this first one about punk caught my eye since I saw three of them, so here they are:
Blank Generation - 1980
Stop Making Sense - 1984
Sid & Nancy - 1986
The Filth and the Fury - 2000
End of the Century - 2003
I have Stop Making Sense on DVD and it's one of my favorite music DVDs of all time, never mind the 'punk' labeling. Sid & Nancy was pretty good, although I only saw this movie, based on Sid Vicious from the Sex Pistols and his groupie girlfriend, just one time.
I also saw the last one, a very good documentary on the Ramones.
Anyone see the other two?

Yeah, join the club and your in buddy! And I thought PA had the most ridiculous liquor laws in the country. Well, PA probably does, what with a Liquor Control Board that purchases all the alcohol for the entire state (wine included) and from which everyone must purchase their beverages. Everyone. Bars, restaurants, service clubs, you name it. And yet, as the single largest purchaser of booze in the world, they still have prices that are among the highest in the country. How the heck does that happen? Oh, I almost forgot. It's government run. Silly Swish.And if you try to bring any in from another state and get caught, you will be fined. That doesn't stop many thousands living in the Philly area and other border towns from going to NJ, DE and MD for their booze. It's totally worth it if you buy a decent amount.
