Best "Music" movies ever made?

[MarantzDance]

Choose but choose wisely.

I only really got 2

1) The Commitments - Irish people are just naturally funny and drunk Irish muscians are even better. Best soundtrack also out of any music movie catagory too imho.

2)High Fidelity - Its just sorta a rehash of Say Anything really but the taking place in a record store applies to most of us I think. Also Dick hitting Tim Robbins with the phone makes me choke.

Walk the Line isnt on here cause I think they spent too muc time on his addictions. Flamers need not apply.

Havent seen Dewey Cox yet either but from all the trailors on youtube I seen this has promise.

Cast your ballot in an election that you really matter in this year. VOTE!

The Kids are Alright
It's a movie, and it's full of music and about musicians, so it should count.

Tossing out the rockumentaries like "The Last Waltz", "Woodstock, "Monterey Pop", etc, I guess my favorite would have to be "The Blues Brothers"

Hands down

Spinal Tap

The movie "Almost Famous" (2000) has an excellent soundtrack and is a great movie about 70's rock bands. The new music by Stillwater is also good.

Cheers, Snade

Hadn't seen it years, but I'd love to get a copy of Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains on DVD, if they'd ever release one. I saw it years ago in USA Network, and I think VH-1 has aired it more recently. Starred Diane Lane and Laura Dern as members of a teenage girl punk band, and also featured members of The Clash and The Tubes. Jonathan Demme was a co-writer too.

1962's "The Music Man" is kinda corny, but if you kinda just sit back & enjoy it for what it is, then its jolly good fun. Always liked Robert Preston. And you get to see about every late-50s early '60s character actor there was in it...All those faces you grew up with.

And you get to hear Hermione Gingold say, "It's a smuttybook!"
