Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, one of the most underappreciated bands of the last 30 years, are the subjects of Runnin’ Down a Dream airing on the Sundance Channel on Monday at 7:45 am. If that’s too early for you, set your DVR because this one is worth watching. Director Peter Bogdanovich brilliantly weaves personal tales, interviews and concert footage into a 3½ hour masterpiece that even a casual Petty fan will thoroughly enjoy.

Love that Petty doc, though the second half isn’t quite as good as the first half.
