25×5: the Continuing Adventures of the Rolling Stones

25x5: The Continuing Adventures of the Rolling Stones is a documentary featuring rock group The Rolling Stones, charting the period between the band's formation in 1962 and the release of its then latest album, 1989's Steel Wheels. It was directed by acclaimed British documentary-maker Nigel Finch.

Alongside much archive footage, the film also featured extensive original interviews with band members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood. The band's two guitarists who preceded Ronnie Wood, Brian Jones and Mick Taylor are featured in archive interviews only. Jones died in 1969 and Taylor, his replacement, left in 1974.

Despite the high regard the film is held in, it is currently unavailable on DVD or Blu-ray.
