After small roles in the 2001 film The Wash and as an extra in the 1998 Korn music video for "Got the Life" (during which he gave the band a demo tape), Eminem made his Hollywood debut in the semi-autobiographical 2002 film 8 Mile. He said it was a representation of growing up in Detroit rather than an account of his life. Eminem recorded several new songs for the soundtrack, including "Lose Yourself" (which won an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2003 and became the longest-running No. 1 hip hop single in history).
E features seven director's cut versions of Eminem's music videos released up to 2000, as well as footage of the making of the "Stan" video. All songs are taken from his second and third studio albums The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP.[3]
Directed by John 'Quig' Quigley, All Access Europe documents Eminem's European tour to promote The Marshall Mathers LP. The video album is divided in segments based on the concert locations, which included Hamburg, Oslo, Paris, London, and other European destinations.[5]
Eminem Presents: The Anger Management Tour, directed by Donn J. Viola, highlights the 2002 concert in Detroit, part of the Anger Management Tour. The concert features performances from Eminem and the Shady Records roster, as well as backstage footage and a free download option of the "Ass Like That" music video with the purchase of the DVD.[7][8]
Live from New York City 2005 is Eminem's fourth and to-date final concert film. The film documents his 2005 live concert at the Madison Square Garden in New York, part of the Anger Management Tour 3. The taped event, directed by Hamish Hamilton, originally premiered on Showtime on December 3, 2005, while the DVD was released on November 13, 2007.[9][10]
