American Hardcore is a movie on the history of punk rock in America during the early '80s. The trailer looks awesome with all kinds of retro footage as well as retrospectives from the punk-rock adults.

Synopsis: "Filmmaker Paul Rachman recalls the 1980s American punk-rock movement. The retrospective features interviews and performance footage with such bands as Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Bad Brains, Jerry's Kids, Gang Green, Poison Idea, Flipper and SS Decontrol. Inspired by Steven Blush's book."

I was a wee tot when this scene took place and haven't even listen to most of these bands. But it looks like a really great flick. Supposedly it comes out today (9/22) but I can't find it anywhere near me, so it might take a few weeks to trickle out if you don't live in NY or LA.
