In 1970, a music aficionado and entrepreneur named Michael Eavis staged a "pop, folk, and blues" festival on a dairy farm in the English community of Glastonbury, not far from Stonehenge. 1,500 attended the "Glastonbury Fayre," and a second festival followed in 1971. By 2005, The Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts had grown into the biggest pop music festival in the world, playing host to the biggest names in rock, reggae, electronic, blues, and world music for a crowd of up to 150,000 people over the course of a three-day weekend in June. Filmmaker Julien Temple offers a backstage look at the history of this event, as well as a cross section of the memorable performances which have taken place on the festival's stage in the documentary Glastonbury. Performers featured in archival footage include R.E.M., David Bowie, New Order, Radiohead, Coldplay, the Velvet Underground, Nick Cave, Oasis, Blur, Björk, and many more. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Set back in the days when Australia was settled by convicts transported from the British Isles, this entertaining animated feature has live backgrounds and one live actor, Rolf Harris playing Grandpa. All the other characters are literally two-dimensional. This technique served director Yoram Gross well in his many "Dot" films and works here too. The story is about a young boy who was unjustly sent over to Sydney with a boatload of convicts. It quickly becomes apparent that although the convicts are rough around the edges they are pure-hearted. It is their guards that are the real brutes. So when the slow-witted Governor needs a little assistance, help comes from the unexpected sector. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Cowritten by future Avengers mainstay Brian Clemens, the British-filmed Crash Drive plays like an American Pat O'Brien programmer of the 1930s. Dermot Walsh stars as a race car driver who is paralyzed in an accident. Rather than accept the situation, he immerses himself in the mire of self-pity. Only the return of estranged wife Wendy Williams snaps Walsh out of his weeping and wailing. Just as Wendy Williams is not rock star Wendy O. Williams, neither is Crash Drive supporting actor Ian Fleming the same person as the novelist. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
