I dont even think a full movie set during a small time period (1975-1979) would properly do justice to their stories.
I think it would be ideal for a mini-series though.
Would love to see;
Episode 1: The Blues years 1967-1970
Episode 2: Transition 1970-1974
Episode 3: Making it big 1975-1978
Episode 4: Indulgence 1978-1984
Episode 5: The Come Back 1985-1990
Episode 6: Whatever's left 1990-onwards

All very great talking points about a movie that, no doubt, would be entitled something similar to what The Eagles have just, only just done.
The History of Fleetwood Mac : Secrets, Lies and Sexy (sleaze).
But, to my way of thinking, yes of course that would and could be a great "by the fans/Ledge and for the fans"-style movie, think, Kickstarter launch analogous to the Veronica Mars Film.
So, yeah, can be done, but the band would be relying on us hardcore/Ledge fans to, y'know - subsidise the great risk that it would be a bomb at the box office for the centre fanbase who see F. Mac as "A/C"/adult contemporaries.
SO?
Yes, a Fleetwood Mac movie would and does work. They did it for Tusk. They did it for Destiny Rules
but,
IT NEEDS A NEW ALBUM TO PUSH IT - FORWARD TO Actually, mAKE SOME MONEY!!!!!!!!!
