What he said. Why am I not surprised we'd agree?

There have been other fine movies mentioned ("Commitments").

I just have to add another: "A Hard Days Night".

"O Brother Where Art Thou"
"Woodstock"
"The Blues Brothers"
"The Music Man"
Not sure if this counts, but I sure do love this movie:
"The Sound of Music" :ducks for cover:

I'm with you one this one. Filmed concerts & rockumentary productions aside, it's difficult to imagine an original film score that's better than what's presented in A Hard Day's Night. Except maybe the soundtrack to Bill Asher's magnum opus How To Stuff A Wild Bikini (1965).

WOAH.. I can't believe I get to name some of the best 3 of all time that haven't been mentioned...

The Song Ramains the Same
Sgt. Peppers
Purple Rain

I won't even mention Yellow Submarine was also forgotten..

Those are probably my 3 all time favorites (short of the one I didn't mention )

[similost]

OH...

and not a single mention of Tommy? THE ULTIMATE rock opera... slackin people.. slackin...

I'm a closet TSOM fan. I think I just outed myself.

I'm with Mark W, "This is Spinal Tap"

"Dont even look at that guitar"

"How much more black can you get than that? None more black"

"You cant do heavy metal in dubly"

"......will we be doing stonehenge tonite"

"its a fine line between clever aqnd stupid"

I could go on all day

I always liked "Streets of Fire" but maybe thats just because of Diane lane.
