Thriller 40 (2023)
Il documentario ripercorre il processo realizzativo dell'album Thriller di Michael Jackson. Attraverso interviste di collaboratori e amici del cantante, vengono raccontati aneddoti ed evoluzione delle tracce presenti nell'album e dei relativi videoclip delle canzoni Billie Jean, Beat It e Thriller. Durante il documentario si racconta come l'album, e la famosa esibizione all'evento Motown 25, dove Jackson mostrò il moonwalk al mondo per la prima volta, abbiano portato l'artista al successo planetario facendolo diventare di conseguenza un'icona del tempo. Affiancando le parole di artisti che hanno collaborato all'album a quelle di artisti più contemporanei, si sottolinea l'impatto e l'importanza che Thriller e Michael Jackson hanno avuto al tempo e continuano ad avere tutt'oggi nell'ispirare la musica attuale.
