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.

These are the only two soundtracks I've gone out and bought on CD.

Of course nothing beats Rocky Horror. The only one that comes to mind and hasn’t been mentioned yet is The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109045/?ref_=nv_sr_2?ref_=nv_sr_2

"Do you have the Texas Chainsaw Mascara?" Priceless!
Just off the top of my head:

"The Umbrellas of Cherbourg"

"Anything Goes" - soundtrack

"Angela’s Ashes"

"West Side Story"

"Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon"

"Nashville"

"Li’l Abner" - soundtrack

DeKay


-Spawn had some great music, one of the few soundtracks I own.
-Bohemian Rhapsody
-Almost Famous

Awesome post!

Dewey Cox story, okay raunchy and not appropriate for watching with kids but the paraody of Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and Brian Wilson songs were fanatastic,  songs like Walk Hard, Let's Duet, Midget Man just fanatastic.

Rocky Horror a Classic 

Across the Universe great Beatles songs redone 

The Who's Tommy some great songs and of course a 40 ish  Ann Margret

Chicago great songs, great music, great dancing, hot women 

Dave and Troy
Audio Doctor NJ


Al.

I had to Google that one.

Of course now I will have to watch it too.

So many great movies

So little time!
I've watched "The Last Waltz" more times than I can remember. The farewell concert of The Band, filmed by Martin Scorsese.

There are so many great soundtracks it's hard to choose.Woodstock is a favorite that I watch every so often.Phantom of the Opera also.
Hi Uberwaltz,

Re your selections:

1) I saw "Rocky Horror" once, many moons ago, but I don't remember the music well enough to comment on it.  I do remember the film well enough, though, to agree with your "so camp it is brilliant" comment. 

2) "The Blues Brothers" -- Fantastic!  Love it!

3) I haven't seen "Rock of Ages."

My personal favorite:

"The Umbrellas of Cherbourg," a classic 1964 romantic French film directed by Jacques Demy and starring Catherine Deneuve, in which every word is sung rather than spoken. The music having been composed by Michel Legrand.

Best regards,

-- Al
