BFI - 10 Great Films About Rave Culture

"Watching movies about raves is a strange experience. You either feel like the sober person eye-rolling at the goofy antics of friends, or you feel inspired to don a pair of wrap-around shades and pump your fists in the air as if to say yes, yes, yes to every beat.
Either way, there are some great movies about this musical subculture that are sure to set your pulse racing. In all of them two things are guaranteed: a euphoric joyride and a wacky wardrobe – because when else is it socially acceptable to wear ski masks and chandelier hats indoors?
Unsurprisingly, given the rise and commercialisation of the scene, the few years on either side of the millennium proved an especially fruitful period for depictions of rave culture on the big screen. Some examined it with a critical eye, others simply looked to celebrate its hedonistic inclusiveness.
