Metallica: Cliff 'Em All

1987 · 90 min Documentary Music
7.7 / 10 · TMDB

Originally released as "The $19.98 Home Vid: Cliff 'Em All," Metallica's first video is a tribute to late original bassist Cliff Burton. James Hetfield describes it as "a compilation of bootleg footage shot by sneaky Metallifux, stuff shot for TV that was never used, but we've held onto, home footage, personal fotos and us drunk. But most important, it's really a look back at the 3-1/2 years that Cliff was with us and includes his best bass solos and the home footage and pix that we feel best capture his unique personality and style." 1987.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a raw and heartfelt tribute, relying on bootleg footage, unused TV clips, and personal photos to explore Cliff Burton's legacy. It’s an intimate, unvarnished look at his personality and explosive talent on stage.

What lingers after viewing is the raw energy of early Metallica and a profound sense of artistic loss. This is a foundational document for any metal fan. — MovieFinder Editorial
