Top 5 best movies about bands:?

No. 1

Phantom of the Paradise

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071994/

It is said that this movie, especially Gerrit Graham's performance as Beef, inspired the creation of Dr. Frank N. Furter and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", first as a musical play then as one of the ultimate cult films.

No. 2

"The Buddy Holly Story" definitely ranks way up there. Gary Busey deserved that Oscar!

No. 3

Wild in the Streets

Fictional band Max Frost & The Troopers, led by Christopher Jones, actually had a couple of songs hit the charts! Target stores recently used "Things to Come" in an ad campaign!

No. 4 & 5

Then, there are these two about the same band:

That'll Be the Day~fictional band comprised of David Essex, Adam Faith, Ringo Starr and Keith Moon, plus others

Stardust~David Essex, Dave Edmunds, Adam Faith taking over Ringo's role, plus others

What's the band's name? The Stray Cats! Surely this is Brian Setzer's inspiration though there seems to be a great deal of debate about this.

Here are some others that deserve to be mentioned:

Ferry Cross the Mercy~includes Gerry & the Pacemakers

Harmony Cats~fictional

Head~The Monkees

Hedwig and the Angry Inch~fictional

Light of Day (1987)~fictional band The Barbusters, comprised of Joan Jett and Michael J. Fox

Rock Around the Clock~Bill Haley & the Comets

The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash~Eric Idle's Beatles parody

Sweetwater: A True Rock Story~This is the group that opened Woodstock! The film is a mix of fact and fiction.

Times Square (1980)~fictional

Honorable mention:

I Wanna Hold Your Hand~Beatlemania!

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls~ficitional~AWFUL! Approach with caution.

well, my favourite band is Smashing Pumpkins, but naming 5 would involve me putting down Batman + Robin, so I won't do that. I'll do Nine Inch Nails instead. I'm excited that Trent Reznor is working with David Fincher in the upcoming Girl With The Dragon tattoo, I was so happy when he won an Oscar for The Social Network. 1. Natural Born Killers - 'Something I Can Never Have' 2. Seven- 'Closer' (remix). Played during one of the best opening credit scenes of all time 3. Lost Highway- 'The Perfect Drug' 4. Man On Fire- 'The Great Below' 5. Wanted (it's a meh movie though) - 'The Day The Whole World Went Away' BA: I live in Australia, so no. BA2: Moneyball looks interesting. I can't believe there is going to be another Johnny English movie. Really? BA3: I had to look him up, lol. He was in State Of Play and Speed, which are solid movies. I still need to watch The Hours, though.

the commitments!! one of my favorite movies!!
