Here is a 2002 documentary on the band.

- Dayyve, on 11/06/2007, -0/+2Awesome. The Smiths were huge with my friends and I here growing up in Chicago. Nice to see The Stone Roses mentioned. Don't forget the Cure, I think Robert Smith was just as influential as The Smiths/Morrissey and put on some of the best and most memorable shows I've attended in my life.
