Charlie Is My Darling, directed by Peter Whitehead and produced by the Rolling Stones' manager Andrew Loog Oldham, was the first documentary film about the Rolling Stones. The film was shot during the band's second tour of Ireland that year, on 3 and 4 September 1965, and was finished in the spring of 1966. It was given its premiere at the Mannheim Film Festival in October 1966, but was never released officially in its full length, due to the legal fights between the Rolling Stones and Allen Klein and a burglary in Andrew Loog Oldham's office, which saw all prints disappear. Shorter versions have circulated since then, however.

In 2012, a restored and extended version was finally released by Allen Klein's ABKCO Records, which owns the rights to all older Stones material.

The 64 minutes documentary follows the group from their car trip out of London to Heathrow Airport, and from there to Dublin where they had two concerts at the Adelphi Theatre on 3 September. The next day they take a train up to Belfast for two concerts at the ABC Theatre, before returning to London by plane the following day.

Besides stage shots from the concerts (where the second Dublin concert ends in total chaos as fans storm the stage), the film contains scenes from a hotel room in Dublin (where Keith and Mick for fun do a few Beatles songs as well as a couple of their own), scenes from their train trip to Belfast, another impromptu song session by a piano (with both Keith and Andrew Oldham playing the piano while Mick impersonates Elvis Presley and sings Fats Domino's version of "Blueberry Hill"), and finally their flight back to London. Intermixed with this are interviews with the band members where they talk about fame, fans and future.

The restored version premiered at the Walter Reade Theater in New York City on 29 September 2012, as part of the 2012 New York Film Festival, and was released on DVD and Blu-ray in November 2012. On 25 November 2012, it was shown by BBC Two as part of BBC's "The Rolling Stones at 50" celebrations. According to BBC's website, it was the first TV broadcast of the 47-year-old documentary.

On their 50th anniversary, the Rolling Stones, with the support of archive footage and interviewed by director Brett Morgen, retrace the first 20 years of their career. The film discusses their early success in the sixties; the way the media characterised the difference between them and the Beatles; the exceptional musical talent of Brian Jones; their first song-writing; the difference between the boy fans' aggressiveness that resulted in fights with the police and the girl fans' screaming hysteria; Mick Jagger and Keith Richards drug use and their arrest; the musical contribution of Brian Jones that was waning due to excessive use of drugs, and his death a few weeks after the separation from the band; Mick Taylor's debut concert in Hyde Park in memory of Jones and the return to world tours; the awful organization of the Altamont Free Concert; their flight to tax exile in 1971; the recording of Exile on Main St. in a villa on the south of France; Mick Taylor's departure and the arrival of Ronnie Wood; and the arrest of Keith Richards in Canada for possession of heroin and his decision to detox, to safeguard the future of the band.

Un film de concert tiré de deux concerts des Rolling Stones lors de leur tournée nord-américaine de 1972. En 1972, les Stones amènent leur tournée Exile on Main Street au Texas : 15 chansons, dont cinq de l'album "Exile". Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Mick Taylor, Charlie Watts et Bill Wyman sur une petite scène avec trois autres musiciens. Jusqu'à ce que les lumières s'allument vers la fin, nous voyons les pierres sur un fond noir. La caméra reste principalement sur Jagger, avec quelques plans de Taylor. Richards est à l'écran pour ses duos et pour un travail de guitare sur les deux dernières chansons. C'est de la musique du début à la fin : du hard rock ("All Down the Line"), du blues ("Love in Vain" et "Midnight Rambler"), un hommage à Chuck Berry ("Bye Bye Johnny"), et pas de "Satisfaction .
