'Madonna: Truth or Dare'(01 of14)
Open Image ModalLong before selfies took over the world, Warren Beatty watched Madonna, bemused, saying, "She doesn't like to do anything if it's not being filmed."
Justin Bieber's 'Believe' (02 of14)
Open Image ModalHow does a teenager cope with worldwide fame and adulation?
'Tantrums and Tiaras'(03 of14)
Open Image ModalThe roof flew off Elton John's unique world in this documentary produced by his partner David Furnish. Elton's flying off the tennis court in a sulk was a highlight. The relationship somehow survived and flourished.
'Springsteen and I'(04 of14)
Open Image ModalBy the fans, for the fans, as thousands of Bruce's most devoted followers videoed themselves sending messages to Bruce, and summing up their love for him in three small words each. Fascinating.
'Kylie - White Diamond'(05 of14)
Open Image ModalPost-cancer renaissance. Fresh triumph for the Aussie songbird.
Geri Halliwell's 'Look at Me'(06 of14)
Open Image ModalA study in solitude, post-Spice Girls - with her monologues and midnight musings, Geri successfully cured anyone of believing that pop stardom = happiness.
Blur 'No Distance Left To Run'(07 of14)
Open Image ModalCharting the build-up to Damon Albarn and pals' Hyde Park reunion concert of 2009.
'Katy Perry: Part of Me'(08 of14)
Open Image ModalHits and heartbreak - all are documented in this intimate but impossibly polished look at the world of Katy Perry.
'20 Feet from Stardom'(09 of14)
Open Image ModalOscar-winning look at life as a backing singer to the greats.
'Anvil: The Story of Anvil'(10 of14)
Open Image ModalUnbelievable but true story of what happened when Anvil got back together to see if they could find success second time around. Trust me, you don't need to have the band's records to find the story a superior tale of touring, tantrums and comradeship.
'Stone Roses: Made Of Stone'(11 of14)
Open Image ModalShane Meadows' impossibly one-eyed look at the Manchester favourites and their return to their own hallowed soil.
'Abba The Movie'(12 of14)
Open Image ModalWhat happened when Abba visited Australia and were mobbed, and canny execs decided to turn the experience into a film, but one without a script? Lou from Neighbours, that's what.
'Metallica: Some Kind of Monster'(13 of14)
Open Image ModalAnother film to cure any viewer of the illusion that with impossible amounts of money, album sales coming out of your ears and fans the world over, you MUST be a happy human being able to get on at all times with your fellow guitarist or, in this case, drummer. Bonkers.
This is... Spinal Tap'(14 of14)
Open Image Modal'Art is a lie that helps us make sense of the truth,' said Picasso. So does the fictional world of Spinal Tap shed possibly more light on life in a real band than anything else we've been shown. This is old now, but still perfect. We give it 11/10, of course.
