[sydraider]

Trick or Treat

 

[Tommy Smith]

Has anyone seen Shine a Light? Martin Scorscese's movie-documentary following the Rolling Stones on tour.

It's supposed to be pretty good, only i haven't bothered to hire it out yet.

While not strictly a rock n roll movie, FMD, you have to list High Fidelity. Rock n Roll is at the core of that great film. I mean f**k, it has THE BOSS in it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZE7OchG3DY

Also, Dont Look Back and Gimmer Shelter if you want rockumentaries.

Agree with you on High Fidelity (as a Boss fan).

Going back to the 80s, Eddie and the Cruisers was pretty good too. And The Ruttles.

Having said all that, it's hard to beat This Is Spinal Tap. Brilliant.

I've actually only just read the book. Good read.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Rock Star, the greatest of all.

You know when he goes all grunge-esque...;-)

Oliver Stone's The Doors

 

[Stagger eel]

The doors is probably a personal favourite but does anyone remember a movie about the life and times of Ian Curtis of Joy Division? if so what was it called.

 

[simmo1]

Crossroads. If only for the guitar duels.

 

[~knights~]

Loved it

especially D.Grohl's cameo

 

[Alex28]

I'll back 'High Fidelity' as well - one of my fave movies ever.

Control, a very good movie (depressing though).

The Ruttles- a class of its own

I've heard a few times that they are going to adapt Motley Crew's autobiography, The Dirt, into a movie... Now that would be F*cken sweet!
