1) Let It Be (1970)
In terms of presentation, Let It Be by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, is different from The Beach Boys as it doesn't have any interviews or narration. However, the core idea of capturing the process behind iconic songs that have enthralled generations is pretty much the same.
In Let It Be, fans get to see the Beatles engage in recordings and discussions as they put together their twelfth and final studio album. It also includes footage of the iconic rooftop concert, which was the final time the band performed together in public. Although the Beatles did end up disbanding, unlike The Beach Boys, this film captured the timeless legacy that the four members created together.

The Beach Boys amassed a huge fan following back in the day, something that the British boy band, One Direction, can also attest to. Music lovers started paying attention to Niall, Liam, Harry, Louis, and Zayn when they appeared on singing reality show The X Factor. But things moved into high gear after they signed to Simon Cowell's record label.
Similar to the way The Beach Boys captures the iconic band's rise to fame, this 3-D documentary captures the impact One Direction's music had on young fans and how they came to be one of the best-selling boy groups of all time.
