Queen: Live at Wembley Stadium (1986)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

After the Flash Gordon film, Queen had a slight dip, not helped with the negative publicity of breaking a UN embargo and playing in South Africa. Rather an inept move considering Freddie Mercury was of Indian origin and he would not have total freedom in South Africa because of his colour and ethnicity. Of course Queen were not the only entertainers from the world of arts and sports to do this. Pro celebrity sanctions busting was a popular event in the 1970s and 1980s.However post Live Aid and the songs from their new album, many of which featured in the film Highlander they were at their peak.Freddie was probably diagnosed HIV positive when this concert was filmed and they never toured again. Being back at Wembley playing new and old songs, a year after Live Aid, you can sense the electric atmosphere, the band are on an extra mission to entertain.

This is by far THE greatest concert ever staged by Queen! Filmed when they were at their peak and with all their classics songs this is a must have for every Queen fan or any music lover at that! All the great tracks are here including - "a kind of magic", "I want to break free", "Another one bites the dust", under pressure" plus a few of their lesser known songs(to non Queen fans anyway) like "in the lap o the gods" and "is this the world we created". Oh and I can't forget the legendary "Bohemian Rhapsody".The DVD version is amazing, you can almost feel the atmosphere of the crowd in your lounge room! This DVD made me wish I was born a few years earlier so that I could have attended such a magnificent entertainment spectacle!! Also contained some interesting interviews and behind the scenes doco.In summary, a must have for anybody who appreciates great music! Now if only I could invent a time machine...

"Queen Live at Wembley '86" is one of Queen's best concerts! They deliver an overall amazing show, playing their classic songs and they got a rowdy crowd on top of it all! If you are a huge Queen fan, like I am, I HIGHLY recommend this concert!!

I'm a massive fan of Queen and this has to be one of the most fantastic concert i've ever seen. Freddie is as his best and steals the show. May, Taylor and Deacon all play at their very best as well, making Queen the best rock group ever to grace planet earth.
