The Top 25 Music DVDs of All Time
8. Stop Making Sense (Palm Pictures/UMVD)
Jonathan Demme says his movie of the final stop on Talking Heads' 1983 tour "isn't a concert film, it's a performance film." The distinction is that it mostly ignores the audience and captures the band's theatrical presentation -- starting with David Byrne staggering around the stage gasping "Psycho Killer" and ending with Byrne in his famous gigantic white suit among a nine-piece band that unites brittle art punk and juicy funk for a big-weird dance party.
