Your favourite music movie?

Just for fun.
Three movies spring to mind for myself when I think of what moves me here.
In no particular order.

Rocky Horror Picture Show.
So camp it is brilliant!
Tim Curry slays it!
Just way too much to begin to mention.
I can still get a blast from it now.
Let's do the Time warp again!

The Blues Brothers.
Ah, Jake and Ellwood.
Just for the record this was the second VHS tape I ever bought( first was Enter the Dragon)
Just so right....

Rock of Ages.
Now before you all run off gagging, it most certainly was not for Cruises wooden performance.
Catherine Zeta Jones was notable though.
No it was for the pair who stole the show.

Alec Baldwin and Russel Brandt.

Simply perfect for the movie.

Your thoughts on these and your nominations?

None of these are music movies, but they are all movies with top notch scores.

Alexander Nevsky (Prokofiev)
Psycho (Bernard Herrmann)
Vertigo  (Bernard Herrmann)
Ascenseur Pour L’Échafaud (Miles Davis)
Lawrence Of Arabia (Maurice Jarre)

Finally! Someone who knows something about film music. The overwhelming majority of responses to this thread sadly prove the movie executives correct in their move from professional movie composers to pop music. 
Alexander Nevsky is one of the best, absolutely entrancing without the film at all, provides complete accompaniment to the story. West Side Story doesn’t count as it began as a broadway musical, just like Porgy and Bess, another fantastic score but not composed specifically for film.
