Mapman - yep, you got it. Exactly. Both those films are exactly what I'm after. Where the subject or some key aspect of the plot has something to do with music. It does not have to be the entire story, though that's fine too, but some aspect of it...

I'm trying my best here to keep the thread on track, but I guess my command of the English language is not good enough. I'll continue to post'em as I think of'em. Hopefully we'll get more material that is to the point of the thread and fewer folks...

Walter - it's been way too long since I've seen Five Easy Pieces but I'll take your word and offer my apologies for that one. "Clyde", Richard? You makin' this up? I haven't heard of it and couldn't find what you are talkin' 'bout on IMDB. You're ...

Nebin and Erndog, Richard is on his way to your homes with his impact driver and rotohammer. He won't be doing any home repair either.OK, now everyone repeat after me: This is NOT a soundtrack thread! There are numerous soundtracks thread out ther...

My brother in all things musical, Richard! I knew where there was music, you'd come a callin'! How's the power tools and football working for you? Pop open a Pabst for me, my friend. Once - I really loved that film, but Afranta did mention it alre...

Great calls, all, Bikecommuter! Right on. I meant to post Treme but I got to busy setting the thread on course. HBO is putting out some very fine films and series, for sure. Not sure I get the Close Encounters connection though. Sid & NancyBla...
