Your favourite music movie?

Don Juan DeMarco -  a wonderful little film with Dep, Brando and Dunaway.  The opening track is "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman" receiving a Grammy nomination for best song but don't be fooled,  The infectious score was composed, orchestrated, and conducted by Michael Kamen and was performed by the London Metropolitan Orchestra.  This is great red book mastered by Bob Ludwig of nearby Gateway Mastering Studios.  Top shelf stuff that makes a great gift!

Paris, Texas - A dark, interesting movie with Ry Cooder keeping it all moving.  

aforementioned, Cal - Mark Knopfler, nuff said.

Gladiator - No surprise, but a subwoofer tester and mood gratification.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? - Fun ride that can take you down very interesting bluegrass roads, if you chase the artists.

5 is a good stopping point.  More Peace!, Pinthrift

+1 .. love the movie and the score.

Little Shop of Horrors
Chicago
Grease

I know I'm missing some obvious ones I love but those three spring to mind. 

Hedwig and the Angry Inch is easily one of the best rock musicals ever and Criterion just released in Blu Ray and 4K.

The 5th Element. Any score by. Eric Serra is highly enjoyable.

Once Upon a Time in America.  Epic orchestrations by the master Ennio Morricone.

If you want a  wonderful example of film underscoringcand and electronic music. Seek out the Val Killer movie The Saint.  Graeme Revell is great. He also did Sin City and The Crow.

SO, kind of kidding in my first post, but THRILLED, THRILLED that someone listed The Commitments...AWESOME, and thank you.  For some reason (senior moment??) I totally forgot to list it.

I also should have listed The Glenn Miller Story as I am a big band fan, and Help! and A Hard Days's Night (call me Mr. Obvious); Saturday Night Fever (for some of us) is a classic.  I realize many hate the BeeGee's and disco, and I get that as I am a soul music fan (1950's and '60's), but whenever SNF comes on, I always listen to the opening.  Both film-wise and music wise, this low-budget, throwaway film that was considered kind of a joke became culturally significant.  I have to believe it was the music and dancing...the "plot" is kind of thin, right?

Anyway, great film music conductors and those who write and choose the music to accompany the visual have a tough job.  Most of the time, they do a pretty good job making the film more enjoyable at the very least, and spectacular when they are at the top of their abilities.

Cheers!
