Favorite Music-Related Movie?

My most watched would be Blues Brothers and The Commitments.

There would be a bunch of band docos, too. But those two are definitely on high rotation at our place.

I know this is old school but I still love The Sound of Music. Loved it as a kid, and still like it as an adult.

Sound of Music with Julie Andrews! Absolutely.

Nothing beats that interview with Chris Holmes in the pool. I like the first one too.

Does SLC Punk qualify?

 

[Unrepresented]

The Decline of Western Civilisation Pt.II The Metal Years.

I really used to dig that one, but haven't seen it in years. I want to say that the soundtrack was my first eBay purchase way back when.

I pretty much hate KISS, but it's a movie I watched as a teenager over and over.

A Hard Day's Night
Help
The Blues Brothers

There are so many, but Let It Be is tops for me.

 

[ShoeManiac]

There's so many great music related movies, and I agree with a bunch that have been previously mentioned. The Last Waltz is probably the greatest concert film ever. And Let It Be is a fantastic look at The Beatles, warts and all, as they worked up material for an album and a live show.

As for an actual feature film? I'm surprised nobody mentioned it, but I have to go with Still Crazy. It's probably the most representative film of what it's actually like to be in a band. And the cast is absolutely amazing! Bill Nighy, Stephen Rea and Billy Connolly are all fantastic in the film. But I found that English singer/actor Jimmy Nail, who played the bass player, Les, was the soul of that movie. If you can, do check out this movie.
