In A Nutshell: The car park at the now-demolished Capital Center in Landover, Maryland is the setting for this fascainating piece, shot by Joyn Heyn and Jeff Krulik as they flit between tailgate parties prior to a Judas Priest show.
Why A Must-See? Apparently a perennial favourite on board Nirvana's tour bus, the film has become a total cult classic. Countless documentaries have tried to wriggle under the skin of the fiercely protective metal scene, with varying degrees of success according to their agenda. Heyn and Krulik didn't really have one, and the results are utterly glorious.

Come on Total Film! Only 18? There are literally thousands of great documentaries out there, thousands! WHY CAN'T ALL THE DOCUMENTARIES EVER MADE BE ON THIS LIST! I'm disappointed.

@ disappointed - Haha, touché! @ geekstinkbic - All great shouts, but reckon Grizzly Man and Spellbound would've been seen by a lot of people already - there are a couple of 'bigger' titles on the list, but for the most part I wanted to nudge people toward some (hopefully) unseen stuff...
