My Personal Punk Documentary Trilogy, Part 2 - D.O.A.: A Rite of Passage (1980): Arguably the greatest punk documentary ever, this film is a poignant commentary on hopelessness, disillusionment, and class control within our society. It uses the Sex Pistols U.S. tour as a loose storyline with commentary and other live performances interspersed, such as "Kiss Me Deadly" by a young Billy Idol & Generation X and "Rip Off" and "Borstal Breakout" by Sham 69. The rare interview with Sid & Nancy is not to be missed, though the images of swastikas is disturbing.
