Maiden Documentaries

A hollow universe in space
I'm one of those people that are constantly searching for Maiden docs on the internet, i just love to get all new sorts of information.

What are the best documentaries (official and non official) that you've see so far about ANYTHING Maiden related? :)
 
The Flight 666 Documentary was pretty sweet. It's more logistics related (iirc) but that was what interested me (and shots of the Ed Force One).
Just type Iron Maiden Documentary into youtube, there's a whole bunch of interesting stuff.
 
The early days documentary is superb IMO, Flight 666 rules as well. Guess those are my favorites :-)
 
The Early Days is my favourite. They really did a good job there. I loved hearing so many older band members telling a little bit about their time in the band. Lots of great and fun stories in it.
Flight 666 was decent enough, but it was a missed opportunity. We could have seen so much more of the band backstage. Before, during and after gigs. Instead there was lots of live footage which we got on the concert disc, and band-members praising each other like there was no tomorrow.
 
Alot of the old MTV headbangers Ball stuff is always fun to watch because it captures how the time was like back then....Great insight into a lesser documented tour and tells the story of more humble times for the band - despite the fact that two years earlier they had just headlined Donington for the first time. Add to that this was Janick's first tour with the band.

I was somewhat disappointed with Behind the Beast. It kind of repeated some of the ideas of Flight 666. and there was not much about the band there. I absolutely love studio insights the most, when they also discuss the songs. Shame don't do that often. I really like the DoD and AMoLaD ones. Shame there is no "making of BNW." The "History" documentaries are also brilliant, but the last one was way too short...
