Excellent and entertaining documentary about the indie rock scene in Oxford that spawned the likes of Radiohead, Foals and Supergrass among others. The strength of Jon Spira's doc is that it gives as much screen time to the also rans and never weres and paints a vivid picture of a local music ecosystem.

They created and performed the iconic action sequences of 007, Indiana Jones, Superman, Rambo, Star Wars, Conan, the Alien films and pretty much everything since. They crashed cars, jumped from burning buildings, shot, stabbed, kicked and punched their way into cinema history. This is the first feature documentary to unite the legendary community of stuntmen in telling their story and, as you'll see, there's life in the old dogs yet.
