THELONIOUS MONK: STRAIGHT, NO CHASER (1988)
Documentary about the life and music of the great and insane jazz piano player and composer, Thelonious Monk.
Okay, the music in this movie is completely incredible, sure. But the real amazing thing is seeing this lunatic genius manage to get through life, hanging out with all the hippest people ever, all while being completely crazy. It’s super moving and cool.
