What? No "Help" or "A Hard Day's Night"? Shit, those movies are great.

Talking about guilty pleasures when it comes to rock films....

"That Thing You Do". Really catches the rise and fall of a musical group really well. And I am one of those people who, to this day, still love the theme song.

Since most have been said that I liked, I'll just add one that should be here. The Monkees- "Head". It made no sense but on acid it is a classic.

-- A Hard Day's Night #1 (every scene is a classic).
-- Repo Man is the Grease of the 80's. Great flick.

I think "This Is Spinal Tap" should make the cut, too.

[The Blowhard]

Anybody remember the old Pink Floyd Movie? No that crap "The Wall"..the concert film. Classic.
I also enjoyed "Heavy Metal".

There was a great film simply titled "The Punk Rock Movie", starring The Sex Pistols. Great flick!

I can tell you two of the worst : Hearts of Fire (Bob Dylan, Rupert Everett, Fiona; 1986) . Renaldo and Clara (Bob Dylan's first movie; 1978) both are so bad they are not in print any longer, I own both of them and love them for their sheer horridness. <P> <P> <P>


I used to be a fat kid, and man, the name just stuck.

Am I the only one who thought that "Yellow Submarine" was a good flick?
