Best Rockin' Film

[sasquatchking]

And I don't mean documentaries (we'd be here all day). I mean the movies that used rock as a vehicle. I'm gonna set it off with Detroit Rock City; awesome soundtrack, hilarious, and pretty timeless flick (i mean, Ron Jeremy's in it! c'mon!).  [I patiently wait for someone to bring up the other great film that I'm thinking of. Something about backbones and faucets?]

[Rainer7]

Wayne's World is always fun to watch.<br>

[Insane3]

<P>Well I can't think to any better music based movie than The Wall movie.</P>

[CipollinaFan]

<p>Except maybe the Wizard of Oz <img src="http://www.rockbandgame.com/file/smile/wink.gif"></p><p>Yellow Submarine was good not really the best but it was good.<br></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[Kangaroo_Kid]

Does This is Spinal Tap count? If not then Almost Famous is an awesome movie. And of course Waynes World .

[sasquatchking]

Yes! It took a little bit but Kangaroo Kid nails it! "Congratulation" you win!<br>

[Capt_SexyPants]

Spinal Tap or Wild Zero. Possibly Airheads.

[ELMago]

I'd say Rockstar is a good Flim and The Great Film (The Pick of Destiny) or oldschool Kiss meets the phantom of the park.:D

Great Movie .

[rockstarprincess_94]

The best rock show that I really like would have to be School house of Rock! Its pritty SWEET!;)

[c0nd0rd4myt]

i agree, not only is School of Rock is a great comedy, but it plays a wonderful tribute to all of the classic rock bands. though in another way it does bring a bit of a tear my eye, cause i know Douie's experience with the students about them never listening to Rock (dont tell me you've never gotten The Led out), is probably very close to accurate.

I would like to give notice to one movie and one TV show.

The movie, a classic of the early 90s, Dazed And Confused, a movie thats sound captured that 70s mood, and we all must admit No More Mr. Nice Guy was used to sweet perfection.

The television show I would like to mention was named Freaks and Geeks, I will explain it no more then that you should watch it yourself. That show used the soundtrack well beyond what other TV shows can do.

Agreed. That show was amazing and had a soundtrack to match. A few years ago when they were first considering a DVD set of the show it almost didn't happen because they would have to relicense all the music for DVD (wicked expensive.) It was brought up that for the DVD that they could possibly strip out all the music and put in, like, orchestrals or something. They said they would either get the music that was originally on the show or there would never be a DVD. Awesome.

[benjamin]

I know. It was stupid the way the television networks treated that show, with the constant time slot changes, the lack of advertising, and the fact that they aired the episodes out of order.

Judd Apatow does good work, Knocked Up looks to be another check on his record.

[damnfinecat]

Just putting my vote in for Tommy.

[Archangel_of_Light]

The Jimi Hendrix movie was pretty good I thought. I can't seem to remember the name of it though.

[CountAntoniuszzz]

Almost famous without a doubt.

[bubbameister]

Yeah. Almost Famous is an excellent movie.

School of Rock is another great movie. It really made today's youth rediscover classic rock and Jack Black is hysterical.

[Megaman]

The Sound of Music. It doesn't get anymore old school than that.

But really though, I'm a fan of SLC Punk myself

[thenextjimmypage]

Dazed and confused is awesome and my dad grew up in the 70's he said it captured the 70's perfectly with the keg party in the woods and everything else.

[Overkill89]

Spinal Tap. Definatley

That show used the soundtrack well beyond what other TV shows can do. Freaks and Geeks is a great show. I just got done watching it for the first time a couple of days ago. I'm so sad that there's only those 18 episodes of it, all of the characters seem very real, and are really likeable, and you wanna know what happened to 'em next.

Dazed and Confused is a great movie, too, but nothing beats Spinal Tap, if that counts... If not, I agree with you.

[ziggy stardust]

Spinal Tap and The Great Rock n Roll Swindle.

[amolinam]

Tenacious D.

[Julio_No_Mas]

Wayne's World or Blues Brothers.

[King_Nuthin]

The Commitments

[brokentoothpic]

Just Kidding. :)


Dazed and Confused by a longshot.

[MrGrieves]

Almost famous without a doubt.

yep I agree:D and I'll add wayne's world

[mind_in_rewind]

Rock and Roll High School

Dogs in Space

[phulcrum1984]

School of Rock, Detroit Rock City, Almost Famous, Sid and Nancy, The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash.

[The_Little_Buster]

Just putting my vote in for Tommy.

^Seconded, The Who, God, and Jack Nicholson all singing in one movie?! That movie went beyond 11...

Also: A Hard Day's Night (a total classic when it comes to rocking movies, surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet), The Blues Brothers (always a good movie to watch), and Walk the Line (the oddest movie ever, you think it'd be boring but you can't stop watching it at times). Then the usual like Detroit Rock City, The Rutles, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the Bill & Ted films (to an extent), and so on.

Also if you count concert-movies I'd go with The Song Remains The Same and Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture.

Although if we could count documentaries I'd so go with The Decline of Western Civilization II; ending the movie with In My Darkest Hour by Megadeth was just killer! That and the Let it Be documentary. <.<;

[ziggy stardust]

Hedwig and the Angry Inch, was a funny movie.

[Monsterpoptart]

Bill and Ted's, Waynes World and Spinal Tap are epics.

[Elnino]

Spinal Tap wins, but Detriot Rock City is definatly one of the best.

[BhindBluEyes430]

Vanishing point although its not about music its about driving and has an amazing soundtrack and a naked chick on a motorcycle plust the coolest car in the world 1970 alipne white challenger

[jacelep]

Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from mars, Rock n Roll High School, Spinal Tap & Mr. Hollands Opus Oh yeah, Little Shop of Horrors

[FrshChees]

WAYNES WORLD! WAYNES WORLD! PARTY TIME! EXCELLENT!

and School of Rock too :D

[Stryfe666]

Movies that Rock! Tenacious D and the POD, School of Rock (Keep music in schools, b*tches!), Spinal Tap (Just goes without saying!), Rock Star gets a nod, as does Detroit Rock City. Anyone remember Heavy Metal?

[GCJ]

Kiss-attack of the phantoms.....

[Sarge51]

Spinal Tap, Wayne's World, and School of Rock was all pretty awesome.

"But, these go up to eleven!"

"Why don't you just make 10 louder, and use it instead?"

"...But...Look! These go up to 11!"

[FLYmeatwad]

As I said in a similar thread earlier, I'm Not There, easily.

[Crecat]

i'd have to go for the stoned age and the adventures of ford fairlane :D

[kzerok]

I would have to say Rock Star for capturing the essence of what it's like to be a rock star. Dazed and Confused for the amazing music throughout the movie. Detroit Rock City for the dedication of fans to see their favorite band. School of Rock for the study and appreciation of Rock and Roll.

[Dalamari]

The Last Waltz
Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus

[pretty_pink_pistol]

i gotta put my vote in for The Who's Rock Opera. everytime i watch that movie, i think i found out something new.

[Shady515]

Crossroads. Period. (not Britney Spears...The Karate Kid!)

Steve Vai dueling the Karate Kid? Classic...

[Highlandlassie1]

Rockstar (Mark Wahlberg, Jennifer Aniston)

Some of the Steel Dragon songs in this film would be outstanding for Rockband.

[NSUmarty_5]

Just kidding i just couldnt help it nobody else said it that i saw. detroit rock city is great mr hollan opus is pretty solid also for a drama the pianist is good almost famous and of course the waynes worlds but there are alot more.

Airheads
Rocky Horror Picture Show

[griffinmills]

More Blues Brothers love here!

[ElPatro]

Streets of Fire (AMAZING editing and original music)

And of course, the rock opera to end all rock operas: TOMMY.

(Am I the only one who thinks Meatloaf should make Bat Out Of Hell: The Movie?)

[ElPatro]

Spinal Tap
"But, these go up to eleven!"

"Why don't you just make 10 louder, and use it instead?"

"...But...Look! These go up to 11!" I'd consider that a documentary. Just putting in my two cents.....

[xHeLLraiserx]

"THE WALL" by far the best rock album based movie ever!

[Black_Heaven]

Crossroads. Period. (not Britney Spears...The Karate Kid!)

Steve Vai dueling the Karate Kid? Classic...

Seconded.

Noticed no one has said anything about the movie Empire Records. It's not about music directly, but it is nearly totally set in a pretty cool independant record store. Something that is seemingly and sadly dead today.

[Bowiefanperson]

Best music movie is either the wall or Yellow Submarine.

[lintball]

This is Spinal Tap

Hysteria: The Def Leppard Story

Heavy Metal Parking Lot (funny, classic 80s metal-heads at a Priest/Dokken concert)

Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park (wow, can Ace act!)

Rock Star
