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.

Quentin's use of specific songs in scenes in the movie is evidence of his deep familiarity with Pop music from the 50's onward. Particularly cool is the scene in which DiCaprio's character makes an appearance on a TV show, Tarantino having him singing "The Green Door", a song from 1956 that is a cult favorite with Rockabilly aficionados. Very hip. 
I saw Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood this afternoon, and, as always with his movies, the soundtrack is fantastic! So is the movie.
Yup @slaw, Crazy Heart was my first nomination a couple of pages back, along with some more apparently not seen by others. Why do I bother? ;-)
Two recent ones are Ain't In It For My Health (documentary on The Band drummer Levon Helm, the title a response to a comment by Robbie Robertson), and Beautiful Dreamer: Brian Wilson And The Story Of Smile. I also neglected to mention A Mighty Wind, Inside Llewyn Davis, and The New Basement Tapes.
By "music movie" I presume you mean a movie in which music is the central theme, not just it’s soundtrack? Crazy Heart, Coal Miner’s Daughter, Tender Mercies, The Rutles, Riot On Sunset Strip, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, The Wrecking Crew, George Harrison: Living In The Material World, Hail Hail Rock ’n’ Roll!, Standing In The Shadows Of Motown, Muscle Shoals, Tom Dowd & The Language Of Music, The Last Waltz of course, Don't Look Back and No Direction Home, and A Hard Day’s Night and Help!.
