Films and TV shows that feel like Rebel Yell by Billy Idol

A swaggering, leather-clad blast of lust and defiance: a night out where you want more, more, more and nobody can tell you no.

1. The Wedding Singer (1998): A loving, loud 80s pastiche where Billy Idol himself turns up in spirit and the decade's big-hair rebellion is front and centre.
2. Rock of Ages (2012): Sunset Strip rock-and-roll excess, big hair and power-chord anthems of the 80s.
3. Sid and Nancy (1986): Raw punk defiance and self-destruction from the scene Billy Idol came out of.
4. The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years (1988): Documentary view of the 80s LA rock scene, its swagger, excess and dreams of stardom.
5. Pistol (2022): The 1970s British punk explosion that shaped Idol's attitude, told with snarl and noise.
6. The Dirt (2019): Debauched 80s rock hedonism, leather and living for the night.
7. Almost Famous (2000): Road-trip rock-and-roll energy, groupies and band chaos, a more affectionate take on the same world.
8. Daisy Jones & the Six (2023): Rock star appetite, lust and excess in a band that burns bright.
