What's the definitive doc?

Peter Freestone has recommended 'The Great Pretender' as the documentary to watch.

My favourite Queen doc will always be ''Champions Of The World''. All the way up to 1995, and without all the Queen + collaborations (minus the Tribute gig of course).

I think that the one is 'days of our lives', if you include all the extras on the bluray, the doc is amazing

'American Dream'

There are other good ones, but these three are pretty much all you need.

The Magic Years is nice too, but it's pretty dated now.

If you have to pick just one - it's Days Of Our Lives, without question.

Days of Our Lives in terms of content. However, it's my least favourite since most of the archive footage is cropped to 16:9.

Don't be a dick.

LOL

I do enjoy The Magic Years too - such a different and refreshing feel, since they were all still alive. And the wonderful documentary about the making of A Night at the Opera. I'd like one of those for every album please (is there one for any other?)

Is there a documentary from the 70's with the News of the World boxset? If so, how is it may I ask anyone who has seen it?!

I enjoyed The Great Pretender and Days of Our Lives.

I feel like the truly definitive documentary perhaps has not yet been put together though. I've watched some fabulous documentaries and for me, THAT is the epic film about Freddie that'll be (I hope!) made one day. There is so much real life footage, you could make a truly poetic documentary... but for me the secret to a truly poignant documentary is to have it not just be interviews and real life footage, instead to have it express something poetic. And if you can't do that with all the fabulous footage that exists of Queen, coupled with Queen's and Freddie's story, what kind of a documentary filmmaker are you?

Here's hoping it happens one day - and I mean a documentary of the quality to get a cinematic release. I pledge my challenge to documentary makers here!

Link doesn't work

So what asswipe

I hope there’ll be a new documentary soon, that is focused just on Queen with Adam. No need for another Freddie documentary.

YouTube

to spiralastic, no that's the only Classic Albums on a Queen album but if you have Amazon Prime Video and Netflix theres TONS and TONS of band docs and album specific docs for any other band classic or new.

and wow the support for DOOL is still pouring in. im gonna have to get on that one soon!

Doc Brown

I knew someone would appreciate that.

Too bad it flew over the intended recipient's head.

The Magic Years 1, 2, and 3 is probably the best doc.

It must the documentary that doesn't feature the annoying Mick Rock with his pretentious sunglasses.

How are the two "Days Of Our Lives" documentaries distinguished from one another in terms of their respective titles? Remember aside from the Blu-Ray version there is also the 1991 version hosted by Axl Rose.
