Awesome; I Fuckin’ Shot That! (2006)
Up there with the best concert docs of all time, Yauch's Sundance darling drew from footage shot by fans scattered around a 2004 Madison Square Garden show. Ben Stiller FTW!
Gunnin’ For That #1 Spot (2008)
Yauch turned his documentary lens on a group of promising high-school basketball stars with NBA dreams; all of them went on to NBA careers.
"Fight For Your Right Revisited" (2011)
The extended 30-minute version of the group's 2011 music video for "Make Some Noise" -- the sequel to "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)" featuring Seth Rogen, Elijah Wood, and Danny McBride as the young Beastie Boys -- includes even more celebrity cameos and an inter-generational Beastie dance battle, a fitting ode to the group's decades-long career that simultaneously celebrates their roots and shows them coming full circle.
