My two most recent favourites.

Recently, I have seen a couple of movies which made me feel like a better person for having watched them.

The first was the Tenacious D movie The Pick of Destiny. There was a period of a couple years or so where I just couldn't stand Jack Black, mostly because the singer in my last band spoke, acted, and sang like him. But I felt the time was right, and it was. This glorious epic changed my life forever. Tenacious D is the only band who can play an epic song in under 2 minutes.

The other movie I haven't been able to stop thinking about (not that I want to), is Metal: A Headbanger's Journey. This documentary is so in-depth and so passionate about it's subject matter that even if I didn't like heavy metal, I think I would still have appreciated it. It was a historical overview of heavy metal and it's many subgenres, but mostly it questioned why we metalheads are always stereotyped as being deranged mongoloids. It includes interviews with the likes of Tony Iommi, Ronnie James Dio, and Alice Cooper. To someone like me, this film is sacred.
