alotta great ones already mentioned...I'll add "Local Hero"
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.

Let's not forget what the Library of Congress has designated one of the best Music & dance films ever - All That Jazz. From Wikipedia > "Upon release in 1979, director Stanley Kubrick, who is mentioned in the movie, reportedly called it "[the] best film I think I have ever seen". In 2001, All That Jazz was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. It was also preserved by the Academy Film Archive in the same year. In 2006, the film was ranked #14 by the American Film Institute on its list of the Greatest Movie Musicals. The film would be the last musical nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture until Disney's (animated) Beauty and the Beast in 1991, and was the last live-action musical to compete in the category until Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge! was nominated over twenty years later" Who am I to argue with Stanley Kubrick? The 13 film musicals rated above it by AFI were certainly all less Avante Garde & much stodgier. Bob Fosse was quite literally the American Shakespeare of Dance & related music. If you haven't seen it you really have no idea whatsoever what you're missing (on as big a screen as possible). The transcendental ending actually rivals the ending of 2001 A Space Odyssey, in its way - hence (in part) Kubrick's praise. Just like 2001, no one's ever, even tried to copy it. It's that fabulously good & original. |
