If you could only get one or the other, which DVD would you choose?

That's a tough one. Crossfire had a lot of potential but ended kind of abruptly in the 81 timeframe. I guess Mick didn't want to talk about what a shithead Keith is. But that is another thread. I liked CIMD but these days as a longtime fan haven't we heard all the things they have or had to say. So my pick would be to neither given the choice . Get Some Girls or L & G. Great stuff in those.

I still haven't seen Crossfire. It looked like 95% footage that we have all seen before. Am I wrong?

Well, I saw Crossfire Hurricane several times before in the early 1990s, when it was under the title of 25X5.
So, it's nice to have 25X5 back again in a somewhat edited form, but Charlie Is My Darling is something I'd never seen before but only heard about, and is about as revealing and intimate a portrait of the early Stones as we are ever likely to get.

Charlie all the way. Get the deluxe set for the live album or be iffy and get the single DVD for cheaper and download the live album.

You're right but the US version has some nice extras. So that's worth purchasingQuote

Sounds like a choice between a greatest hits album (say, FORTY LICKS) and a studio album (say, BEGGARS BANQUET). I think more suitable would to choose between CHARLIE IS MY DARLING and pieces like GIMME SHELTER, ROCK AND ROLL CIRCUS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, etc.
So I think CROSSFIRE HURRICANE belongs to a bit different category than those authentic films documenting the band in crucial phases in their story. I was first disapppointed with HURRICANE since I had too way too big expectations for it (naturally), but I need to say when I saw it third time I think it gives a nice, balanced over-all picture of their career. Nicely done.

both are great. Not sure why there is no love for Crossfire, it's great for what it is, though too short!

Both films are excellent. If I had to choose one I'd go with Charlie but only by a hair!

About the title, Charlie Is My Darling--I wonder what Charlie Watts thought of that title. I mean, being so low key and all, do you think he was embarrassed?

All of them have their good points but "Ladies & Gentlemen" is the top of Mount Rock. There was no one even close to them at that point. For sentimental reasons, I really like the Some Girls film too.

Charlie is my darling was shot before they became international superstars, an amazing document of a time I have never known. Love Crossfire Hurricaine as well. If you are a Mick fan the first scene is fab.

I found Crossfire Hurricane to be all over the place. Maybe there was just too much to cram in but at times it just felt a little rushed.
However, I really enjoyed hearing Mick Taylors input and the praise he got from the other members of the band. That really was a delight.
