Punk movies by alphabetical order:

24 Hour Party People
Docudrama on the Manchester music scene of the 1980s and ’90s. 24 Hour Party People traces the rise and fall of bands like Joy Division, New Order, and Happy Mondays–bands whose success in the U.S. was limited, but whose impact in Europe (and England in particular) was phenomenal.
