Movies about Music

spinal tap. my ultimate favorite.
The Last Waltz
Don't Look Back (well..it IS bob dylan ya know)
outside out (?...new one..mike gordon made it..watched it the other night on shroomies....pretty hilarious stuff)
True Stories.

greatest movie that features musicians is quite easily the mighty 'ALL OVER ME'. it features pat briggs of psychotica, the exquisite leisha hailey of the murmurs, and of course the divine mary timony.

Gift - Jane's Addiction
Soul Kiss - Jane's Addiction (short, but bad ass_
Rock 'N Roll Highschool - Ramones (of fucking course)
Another State of Mind - brilliant doc of BYO tour

and i can't fucking believe no one has mentioned Suburbia... what's this world coming to?

My fabulous girlfriend got me the Westway DVD the day Joe died.

She knew I'd need to have a good cry and boy was she right.

First Joey Ramone, then Joe Strummer. Why must all the Joes die?

"They say it's the silent one you have to watch out for and I ain't said shit for a couple minutes!" tasty taste

I just saw "24 hour party people." It's about the founder of Facotry Records that released Joy Division, New Order, Blue Mondays and all those Manchester bands. As far as movies go, it kinda sucked. But I enjoyed watching it because it had bands that I liked in it. At least the first half did.

The Red Violin is beautiful
24 hour party people is very fun.
I think I've seen Sid and Nacy 50 times. Its great.
Cusack in High Fidelity is me in about ten years. I love those scenes in the record store where he fantacises about beating up his exgirlfreinds new boyfreind.
Sweet and Lowdown is pretty dope
Harold and maude has some banjo playin in it - does that count? - and if that counts, does Deliverence count?

There are too many good movies about music.

As a mandolin player, I wish I could say captain corellis mandolin, but that thing is a bunch of complete shit.

High Fidelity is on right now on Comedy Central (at least on the Left Coast). Enjoy.

it took far too long for almost famous to be mentioned.

red violin
shine
spinal tap
immortal beloved

and as a brass player, id love to say brassed off, but, again, a steaming heap of shit.
