DANNY COLLINS

Although a side plot gets in the way that schmaltzes it up a bit (the whole thing could trim by 12-15 mins anyway), the initial premise is way way cool and is based on a real event:  A musician learns, 34 years later, that John Lennon sent him a personal letter.   This fact brings him to re-evaluate his life and he wonders what life woulda been like had he received the letter in 1971, esp since the letter contained Lennon's personal phone number.
The movie totally fictionalizes a plot after that but it's still decent to watch.  And the cast:  Al Pacino, Bobby Cannavale, Annette Benning, Christopher Plummer, Jennifer Garner.

Can someone please recommend their favorite rock documentaries? Have been really into them lately. Just watched Who is Harry Nilson. Loved it. A plus if it's on netflix, amazon prime, or HBOGo.

I guess I'll list the ones I have enjoyed:

Wilco - I'm Trying to Break Your Heart
Bob Dylan - No Direction Home/Don't Look Back
Tom Petty - Runnin' Down A Dream
Who is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin Bout Him?)
LCD Soundsystem - Shut Up and Play the Hits
Rolling Stones - Gimmie Shelter and Crossfire Hurricane
20 Feet from Stardom
Mr. Dynamite: The Rise of James Brown
Heavy Metal Parking Lot
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense
Neil Young
The Devil and Daniel Johnston
Metallica Some Kind of Monster




On the docket is Muscle Shoals and this other one about a backup band who played for a bunch of bands in the 50/60's. I'll try to find the name after I try for Kesha tickets.

Ramones - End of the Century
Phil Ochs - There but for Fortune
Various - DOA (punk documentary from 1980; revolves around the Sex Pistols tour of the U.S.  Lots of great cameos - Augustus Pablo, Gen-X, Stiv Bators, Nancy Spungen, X-Ray Spex)

Second vote for We Jam Econo.
