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.

Your thoughts on these and your nominations?

And then there is the one that towers over all the rest, the one (and only) where director Sergio Leone fulfilled his goal of having the music written first and then the movie, the one where the music truly does make the movie, Ennio Morricone's masterpiece, Once Upon a Time in the West.

Cabin in the Sky. 1943 with Ethyl Waters, Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, Lena Horne, Louis Armstrong and Busby Berkeley. Songs by Yip Harburg.
Yip Harburg deserves special mention. He wrote all the songs for The Wizard of Oz including the number one movie musical song of all time, Over the Rainbow.

On another front, I can't believe nobody has mentioned 42nd Street.
