Movies that feel likeGimme Shelter (1970)
If you loved Gimme Shelter, the closest films we have are The Last Waltz (1978), Stop Making Sense (1984) and Woodstock (1970). All three share Gimme Shelter's contemplative and stylish feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years (1988).

If Gimme Shelter hit the spot, these will too

One thread runs through both: rock 'n' roll

The same preoccupation in both: concert film

Both keep coming back to the same thing: rock 'n' roll

Both land stillness and style at once

Contemplative music, and it commits to that
The difference: Sits closer to drama than Gimme Shelter does

Documentary built on style, twice over
The difference: Made in the 2000s, in a different era of the craft

Both lean on stillness more than on documentary


Cut from the same music cloth


Both working the same documentary territory

The same documentary instincts
In the mood for more contemplative?
