1. The Last Waltz (MGM)

After years on the road, the Band gave their farewell show in San Francisco on Thanksgiving 1976, with old pals like Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond, Mavis Staples and some guy named Dylan. Martin Scorsese captured the concert (and interviewed its participants) with a poignant portrait of hippie outlaws running scared in the Seventies, with highlights like Van Morrison's "Caravan" and Emmylou Harris' "Evangeline." The funniest moment had to be airbrushed out: Young went onstage to sing "Helpless" with a lump of cocaine hanging out of his nose.
