Steve Harris must be the most demonstrative cineaste in metal. Even the name Iron Maiden came to him via 1938 swashbuckler The Man In The Iron Mask, and the band’s cinematic influence has held firm from 70s jams through to latest album Senjutsu.
We know how great the tunes are, but what about the flicks themselves? We’re not including films with titles simply borrowed for unrelated songs: From Here To Eternity, Heaven Can Wait, The Wicker Man and even Aces High need not apply. So, grab the popcorn and settle in for this bespoke film season, assessing every ‘Maiden movie’ on its own merits.
