Live Forever (2003)

This documentary about Brit Pop of the 1990s could have been great. As I was a teenager in the 1990s it felt like the next big thing had happened. It felt like our Sex Pistols. But this is no Filth and the Fury.

All the way threw it is made out like the whole thing only started because of the Stone Roses forgetting other important bands like the Happy Mondays.

It also misses out great moments from the time such as Noel Gallagher saying that he hoped Damon Albarn died of AIDS and other such classics.

There are some great moments along the way and some funny. Mostly all with the Gallaghers. The sad moment when Robbie Williams started making music that sounded like Oasis and Noels love of S Club Juniors.

But you don't feel like you are transported back to the 90s like you were the 70s in the Filth and the Fury.

Flawed but funny and occasionally interesting.

PS Listen for Damon Albarn's accent as it goes from Cockney to middle class and back again.
