We got 3 months of digital cable cheap when we moved, so my husband has been a movie junkie (even more so than he was already.) Tonight he made me watch Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Oh. My.
Which leads me to ask -- what are your favorite music-related movies? (Not counting musicals... it's not fair to compare anything to... say... South Pacific or The Sound of Music.)

hmm. that's a tough one honestly. I know one of my favorites (not because of how good it is, but because of how BAD it is, is KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park (released outside the US as KISS: Attack of the Phantoms)
The Barbra Streisand remake of 'A Star Is Born'.

Does, Dirty Dancing count as a musical. I love that soundtrack.
Besides that I also like The Wall by Pink Floyd but I guess that is a musical too.
Grease is my all-time fave movie EVER, but I guess that's a musical. :P
Other than that, Hope Floats, also The Wall, Austin Powers, Flashdance. :)
A Star is Born and Beaches. I bawl in both of them...
The Blues Brothers! Ray Charles, James Brown, Aretha Franklin all in it.
Wasn't crazy on the 2000 movie that Travis Tritt had a brief role in.
High Fidelity is one of my favorite movies.
Can't forget Walk The Line and Ray also.
Grease, Dirty Dancing and The Blues Brothers.
Walk the Line is my favorite movie of all time. Pure country is a good music related movie too.
oh YEAH -- Walk the Line is definitely probably one of my favorites.
Sandi, I can't believe you didn't say "Coal Miner's Daughter."
Gary's favorite movie EVER is The Blues Brothers. Even Delaynie can quote lines from it now.
How about Honeysuckle Rose?? I love the songs from that movie!!
Have yall seen the original and the second remake of 'A Star Is Born'?? Great movies also!!
Beaches...too!!
This thread makes me want to Tivo them all and watch them again!!! ;)
OH!! OH!! How about High School Musical 1 & 2??
My 4 grand kids know all the words to all the songs!!! they range in age from 4 yrs 10 mos old to 2 yrs 2 mos old!! LOL
Pure Country and Grease!
Surprised no one has mentioned This Is Spinal Tap!
Thankfully, Delaynie runs screaming from the room at the mention of High School Musical.
... so do I. Its a such a Grease rip off too.
The Who's "Tommy".
"Walk the Line" and "Pure Country" are two of my favorites. I also like "Flashdance".
I'd like to add Xanadu!!! I hear you laughing at me!
"Almost Famous" is most interesting, tying in with the Beatles also,(main character goes by the name "Penny Lane") as well as Garth AND Chris Gaines.
Oh! And did I mention the Peter Frampton connection to BOTH movies?
Go for it Joyce! I'd love to know what you think after that one!
