What is your favorite "rock-n-roll" movie?

[macgolf]

can t believe no mention of the bestest over the toppest
Blues Brothers

Elwood - "What kind of music do you usually have here?"
Barmaid - "Oh, we got both kinds. We got Country and Western."

Very entertaining movie.

Totally guilty pleasure -- "Phantom of the Paradise." Hard to describe, but Paul Williams is an evil record company exec who goes up against a songwriter who gets his face deformed in a record press. It gets a bit more convoluted from there, but great music and a very entertaining movie.

Tommy. Director Ken Russel pulled one of his best crazy turns.

A stupid little comedy called Rock N Roll High School, featuring the Ramones. In the end, they blow up the high school. Z-grade classic.

Another vote for Blues Brothers...

Don't think I've seen this mentioned...



...or did I miss it? The interaction between Chuck and Keef is priceless.

Cheers,

This is rather obscure. Many folks don't know this was released on VHS (I have a copy):



I don't know if this was ever available on anything other than VHS (although there may have been a laserdisc) (And LP/CD of course)

Cheers,

Great Balls of Fire was indeed great.

Nice to see The Commitments getting recognition.
I enjoyed School of Rock and Wayne's World. High Fidelity is worth a watch.
I have a super Joe Strummer movie called The Future is Unwritten but my favourite rock and roll movie is:
Made of Stone

I actually liked Eddie & the Cruisers II ... Eddie Lives. Low budget movie but I liked the plot.

In this scene you can tell that the Sax player Hilton knows before anybody that this is Eddie Wilson ...
"man can't hide the way he plays, it's like fingerprints, he's born w/ it".

Eddie revives his "old self" ... but get's a flashback of Wendell Newton ... reminds him of a past he wants to forget ... then he walks away.

Rock n' Roll saved the world.

One of my favorite movies of all time. In my top 5, probably my top 3 for comedies.
"Well..," (takes a bit of an apple) "I suppose you could electrify a musical instrument..."
