Anvil! The Story of Anvil

This documentary is incredible. It tells the story of (you'll never guess) Anvil, a metal group that served as an inspiration for a lot of highly successful Rock bands (Guns n Roses, Jethro Tull, Metallica, etc) but never were able to "hit it big" themselves.

The film chronicles the lead singer/guitarist and the drummer, who remain best friends at age 51 and have not given up on the dream of becoming rock stars. I almost cried during it, to be honest. How they have the will to continue pursuing their dreams in the face of countless setbacks and disappointments is beyond me. Even if you don't like the type of music this is an incredible story of the triumph of the human spirit.
