The Filth and the Fury is the second movie Julien Temple made about The Sex Pistols. His first effort was The Great Rock and Roll Swindle, which was released at the tail end of punk rock’s first wave in the 1970s. This earlier effort was criticised for being too skewed towards the Pistols’ manager Malcolm McLaren’s version of events about the band.The Filth and the Fury tells the story from the viewpoint of the bandmembers themselves.
The title of the film is a reference to a headline that appeared in the British tabloid newspaper The Daily Mirror after an interview on ITV’s Today presented by Bill Grundy. See EMI and the Grundy incident on the Sex Pistols main article. The title of The Daily Mirror article was itself inspired by William Faulkner’s novel The Sound and the Fury
Temple’s documentary charts the rise, decline and fall of the Sex Pistols from their humble beginnings in Shepherd’s Bush to their disintegration at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. Temple puts the band into historical context with Britain’s social situation in the 1970s through archival footage from the period. This film was seen in some ways as an opportunity for the Pistols to tell their side of the story, mostly through interviews with the surviving members of the group, footage shot during the era, and outtakes from The Great Rock and Roll Swindle.
Soundtrack
The soundtrack to the film was released in 2002. The two-disc set contains songs by the Sex Pistols as well as music from other artists that was used in the film.
The Clash: Westway to the World is a 2000 documentary film about the British punk rock band The Clash. Directed by Don Letts, the film combines old footage from the band’s personal collection filmed in 1982 when The Clash went to New York with new interviews conducted for the film by Mal Peachey of members Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, Topper Headon, and Joe Strummer and other people associated with the group. In 2003 it won the Grammy Awards for the best long form music video.
SLC Punk! is a 1998 American independent comedy-drama film written and directed by James Merendino. The movie is about the young punk rocker Steven Levy (Matthew Lillard), or “Stevo”. The character is portrayed as an exaggerated stereotype of an anarchist punk in the mid 1980s. Many events and characters in the movie are allegedly based on real life, although they may have been exaggerated. SLC stands for Salt Lake City.
The character of Stevo is based on the life of writer/director James Merendino, although the character is named after Stephen Egerton, originally known as Stephen O’Rielly (Stevo), who played for the Salt Lake City punk band Massacre Guys, and eventually joined the L.A. bands Descendents and ALL.

Creators
Filmmakers Peter Stuart and Adam Small came upon a large scale project which immediately captured their imagination: the Better Youth Organization of Los Angeles was planning a North American tour. Eleven assorted punks would be traveling across the country in a broken down school bus. It was a chance to explore and document the punk community more extensively than ever before.
On August 17, 1982, armed with one production assistant, Stuart and Small set off in their rental truck on this journey through the underground. For six weeks and ten thousand miles, they recorded the adventures of the two touring bands – Youth Brigade and Social Distortion. More than just concert footage, this film documents the rich collection of characters in and around the tour, and the hardships and dangers of life on the road. The film was made on the cheap side and the scenes that feature instructions for “moshing” were filmed as filler so that the film would be at a viable length for release and distribution.
American Hardcore is a documentary directed by Paul Rachman and written by Steven Blush. It is based on the book American Hardcore: A Tribal History also written by Blush. It was released on September 22, 2006 on a limited basis. The film features some early pioneers of the hardcore punk music scene including Bad Brains, Black Flag, D.O.A., Minor Threat, The Minutemen, SS Decontrol, and others. It was released on DVD by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment on February 20, 2007.
